Syrian Young man ranks first in the department of cancer treatment at the European Universities Alliance conference

A Syrian young man, Zain Baiti, ranked first in the department of cancer treatment and antibiotic resistance, during his participation in the first conference of the European Universities Alliance for Global Health, which includes five prestigious universities from Germany, France, Portugal, Sweden and Hungary.

Baiti touched on the efforts made recently to define the defense mechanism of anaerobic germs that are widely spread in the human body and are among the most prominent causes of failure of antibiotic treatment.

Baiti added that the research contributes greatly to understanding the phenomenon of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, which claims the lives of  at least 700,000 people annually, while cancer kills millions of people annually, with expectations of an increase in the number of deaths due to this phenomenon by the year 2050, according to reports of global health organizations. He stressed that just that once  we discover the mechanism of resistance, the chances of treatment would increase more quickly and effectively.

Zain Baiti, was born in 1989.He graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacy at Tishreen University in 2012 and obtained a master’s degree in laboratory diagnosis in 2017. He is currently studying for a doctorate degree at the University of Hungary. He has participated in many local and international conferences, the most important of which is the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases conference, which is considered the largest conference of microbiology in Amsterdam.
