Gabriel Fares is currently an M2 student specializing in Molecular Diagnostics at the Lebanese University–Hadath, where she also completed her Bachelor’s degree in Biology in 2023 and her M1 in Animal Biology in 2024. She is presently conducting her internship at the American University of Beirut (AUB) in the Phage Laboratory under the supervision of Dr Esber Saba, focusing on bacteriophage discovery. Her research interests include the identification and characterization of novel bacteriophages to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR). She has contributed to the discovery of a novel bacteriophage active against multidrug-resistant Salmonella enteritidis. In addition to her work in phage biology, Gabriel is keenly interested in cancer research, particularly in exploring molecular techniques such as Western blotting, real-time PCR, and miRNA profiling in cancer cells. She has not yet received professional memberships or awards and plans to continue pursuing research that bridges infectious disease and molecular oncology.
