Khalid Beshir
- Lecturer in Biomedical Science, University of East London
Dr Beshir is a genomic epidemiologist with a background in Biology, Medical Parasitology and Biomedical Science.
Dr Beshir's research work focuses on understanding how malaria parasites evade drug attack (become resistant) and escape detection by rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and become undetectable. To achieve this, Beshir lab continuously work on the development of new and fit-for-purpose molecular and genomic tools to detect and monitor these new malaria parasite population. Dr Beshir has previously worked on the development of affordable COVID-19 testing assays that can be used in Low and Middle Income Countries, and supported LMIC countries with COVID-19 vaiant detections using NGS genomics.
