Associate Professor | Friedrich Loeffler Institut | Germany

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Amira Moawad is an accomplished Associate Professor and scientific researcher known for her advanced expertise in veterinary microbiology, antimicrobial resistance, and zoonotic pathogens within the One Health framework. With a strong multidisciplinary foundation supported by dual doctoral qualifications and extensive training in molecular diagnostics, she has built a distinguished research portfolio focused on the detection, characterization, and epidemiology of bacterial pathogens affecting humans and animals. Her work employs cutting-edge methodologies such as PCR-based systems, whole-genome sequencing, machine learning–assisted identification, and high-containment laboratory practices, contributing significantly to global efforts against antibiotic resistance. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Amira Moawad has led and supported impactful studies on emerging resistant bacteria, innovative diagnostics, and comparative epidemiological trends across regions. Her research on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Brucella species, Coxiella burnetii, and other priority pathogens has strengthened understanding of transmission pathways and resistance evolution in agricultural and environmental systems. She is widely published, actively engaged in international collaborations, and committed to antimicrobial stewardship and biosurveillance innovation. Her scientific influence is reflected in 550 Citations by 525 documents, 18 Documents, and an h-index of 12.
