Wael Rabeh, PhD

Principal Investigator

Professor Wael Rabeh received his PhD in 2004 at the Biochemistry Department, University of Oklahoma, where he carried the mechanistic characterization of the last enzyme in the cysteine biosynthetic pathway in Salmonella typhimurium.

In 2005, Dr. Rabeh joined the Structural Genomic Consortium (SGC) at the University of Toronto as a postdoctoral fellow, where he characterized the 3D structure of human proteins with medical relevance using X-ray crystallography.

To further expand his expertise in the field of protein chemistry, in 2007, Dr. Rabeh joined the lab of Prof. Gergely Lukacs at McGill University in Montreal Canada for the characterization of a membrane channel that is the main cause of Cystic Fibrosis.

In 2010, Prof. Rabeh joined the faculty of chemistry at New York University Abu Dhabi to establish the chemistry and biochemistry teaching and research programs.
