Professor Rami J. Salib BMedSci, BMBS, DLO, FRCS, FRCS(ORL-HNS), PhD

Professor
Research interests
  • 1- Elucidation of mechanisms of disease resistance in Staphylococcus aureus-mediated chronic rhinosinusitis. 2- Use of the nose to develop novel biomarkers to enable early detection and monitoring of dementia (collaboration with the Carare Research Group). 3- Characterisation of the sinonasal microbiome and its diversity in adult Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia, and its impact on upper airway disease severity (collaboration with the PCD Group).
