OverviewAI-generated summary

Samah Awad's research focuses on understanding and improving patient outcomes, particularly in the areas of respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases. Her work includes investigating the susceptibility patterns and virulence genotypes of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> to inform eradication therapy for gastroduodenal diseases. She also studies the impact of genetic polymorphisms, such as those in FURIN, IFNL4, and TLR2 genes, on the severity of COVID-19. Awad has evaluated serum levels of VIP and aCGRP during pulmonary exacerbations in cystic fibrosis patients undergoing antibiotic treatment, contributing to the understanding of disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. Additionally, her research has explored the radiological characteristics of childhood intussusception and the antibacterial activity of novel nanocomposites against multi-drug resistant pathogens. Awad has published 50 papers, with an h-index of 12 and 956 citations, and collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
