Research summaryDr Soualhine is leading a dynamic group at the National Microbiology Laboratory, who provide diagnosis, reference and surveillance services for tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria. His research activities include molecular epidemiology, and new tools of rapid detection and characterization. The NRCM team is deploying in the northern communities in collaboration with the territorial / provincial governments and communities for active and latent TB wide-community screening. His research group exploits cutting-edge omics technologies such as next-generation sequencing and mass spectrometry-based proteomics and transcriptomic, combined with computational approaches, to advance our understanding of tuberculosis transmission, pathogenesis, drug resistance and host-pathogen interactions.
BiographyDr Soualhine is a leading the Canadian TR Reference lab. His work is focused on new innovative technologies to detect and predict rapidly drug-resistant tuberculosis and related infectious diseases. To achieve our National TB-elimination targets, his center is collaborating with different partners at the national and international level. As scientist, He is managing research projects on Innovative diagnostic, surveillance and new recombinant Vaccines.
