The Dean of the College of Applied Sciences, Prof. Sulaiman Abdullah Al Sagaby, honoured a number of students of the Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Sciences programme in recognition of their distinction in research and their publication of a paper in a ranked international scientific journal.
The paper was entitled:
“Unveiling and Assessing the Antibiotic Misuse in Saudi Arabia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis”. The study examined the misuse of antibiotics through a systematic review and an analysis of the scientific data.
The students turned an academic assignment within the Epidemiology course into a paper published in an international scientific journal ranked in the Scopus database in the second quartile (Q2), under the supervision of Mr. Idris Sula, Dr. Mutaq Al-Rashidi and Dr. Hani Lutfi.
Those honoured were the students who took part in preparing the research: Rina Al-Mutairi, Rawan Al-Harbi, Lamar Al-Furaidi, Nour Al-Huda Mohammed, Hiba Shukri and Ammar Ramli.
The College of Applied Sciences affirmed its commitment to strengthening the culture of research among students and to supporting the conversion of distinctive projects and course assignments into research outputs that contribute to raising the quality of education and research within the College and the University.
