Biography
Wael Rabeh received his PhD in Biochemistry in the lab of Prof Paul F. Cook where he characterized the last enzymatic reaction of the cysteine biosynthetic pathway in Salmonella typhimurium. In 2005, Dr. Rabeh joined the Structural Genomic Consortium (SGC) at the University of Toronto as a post-doctoral fellow, where he characterized the 3D structure of human proteins with medical relevance using X-ray crystallography. In 2007, Dr. Rabeh joined the lab of Dr. Gergely Lukacs at McGill University for the characterization of a membrane channel that is the main cause of Cystic Fibrosis. Dr. Rabeh’s research is devoted for the characterization of proteins’ structure and mechanism to understand their biological function. Major area of his research focus is devoted for the characterization of disease-causing mechanism of proteins with medical relevance to assist in the discovery and design of new therapeutics using proteins’ structural information and computer simulation.
