معرفی
Marwa Hassan is a Research Fellow at the University of Surrey's School of Veterinary Medicine, part of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. She specializes in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), infectious diseases, and diagnostic technologies. Her work focuses on developing rapid diagnostic platforms for bacterial infections and understanding AMR dynamics in environmental and clinical settings.
Education: PhD from The University of Queensland (Australia), postdoctoral research at Warwick University (UK), and prior work in molecular diagnostics for tuberculosis and hepatitis C. She leads projects on ex vivo lung models for cystic fibrosis infections and biofilm antibiotic tolerance.
Research Interests: Includes bacterial pathogenesis, single-cell microbiology, and science communication. She chairs the Early Career Researcher (ECR) Forum and represents Surrey in microbiology advocacy roles with organizations like the Microbiology Society and ESCMID.
Her lab develops portable diagnostic tools for AMR markers in water and animal samples, with recent work on LAMP-based assays for rapid pathogen detection. Collaborative projects include modeling microbial community dynamics in in vitro gut systems and analyzing AMR prevalence in gamebirds.
Labs/Teams: Collaborates with Roberto La Ragione's group on AMR diagnostics and works with multidisciplinary teams in environmental and veterinary microbiology. Current efforts focus on translating molecular techniques into field-applicable solutions for global health challenges.
