Prof. Carole Ayoub Moubareck
Pharmacist (BSc) - Microbiologist (PhD)

I am an accomplished, highly motivated, and internationally experienced Professor with 20 years of practice in the fields of Public Health and Environmental Sustainability. I develop and lead effective cross-cultural, multi-center & multi-country research projects, encourage national and regional collaborations, and create driving change initiatives across several academic and healthcare institutions. My research interests are in controlling infectious diseases by monitoring the emergence and spread of resistant bacteria to antibiotics, characterizing the related resistance mechanisms and investigating potential new therapeutic options. In parallel, I am interested in food security and have lately been examining the potential for recycling organic materials into compost. I am also encouraging the uses of compost for vegetable growth by looking at the benefits of compost when incorporated in the soil of wicking beds. Another part of my research is about the intestinal mircobiota and its implication in obesity and necrotizing enterocolitis. Since the type of feeding significantly affects intestinal colonization in preterm infants, I am also analyzing the composition of human milk of breastfeeding mothers.
