Majed Faisal Alghoribi

Director of Biotechnology Programs and Expert Advisory Member

Majed Faisal Alghoribi is Director of Biotechnology Programs and an expert advisory member with the World Health Organization. His field is the application of genomic technologies to antimicrobial resistance, where next-generation sequencing supports surveillance of resistant organisms, characterisation of resistance mechanisms and the tracking of transmission between patients and facilities. Advisory work at international level connects that laboratory capability to policy, since surveillance data only changes prescribing and infection control when it reaches decision-makers in a usable form.
