Buket Baddal graduated with a BSc degree in Medical Microbiology from University of Surrey in United Kingdom in 2008. Later in 2009, she obtained her MSc degree in Clinical Microbiology from Queen Mary, University of London. Between 2009-2011, she worked as part of the core team in Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare Associated Infections Unit at Public Health England. In 2011, Dr. Baddal was awarded the Marie Curie fellowship and started her PhD in Infectious Diseases, working on a collaborative project between GlaxoSmithKline Vaccines and University of Rome in Italy. Her PhD research focused on respiratory tract infections, nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae pathogenesis, transcriptomics and vaccine development. After completion of her PhD in 2015, she joined Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts for her post-doctoral studies, where she investigated molecular basis of streptococcal infections, mainly focusing on pore-forming toxins streptolysin O and streptolysin S and their role in pathogenesis. In 2017, Dr. Baddal was awarded the ‘Young Investigator Award’ in United States for her work on streptococcal pathogenesis. In 2017-2018, she was appointed as the Project Lead at Emulate Inc., a Harvard University spin-off, where she worked on Organs-on-Chip technology for advancing drug discovery. Dr. Baddal is currently a Senior Lecturer and Researcher in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Clinical Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine at Near East University. She is a member of European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, American Society for Microbiology, Turkish Society for Microbiology and Turkish Cypriot Biologists Association for Research and Nature Protection.

The aim of this course is to extend the student pharmacist’s foundation of the knowledge of hospital-acquired infections, causative agents of nosocomial infections, clinical findings during the course of infections, diagnosis and treatment options. This course will also focus on the concepts of epidemiological surveillance and molecular typing methods for outbreak detection and prevention
The aim of this course is to teach students the fundamental knowledge of microbiology necessary for successful diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. This course is to develop the students understanding of infections of the human body, their etiology, steps involved in diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial treatment. This course will discuss the concepts of control and prevention of infectious diseases and the role of the pharmacists in antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention/control.
