About Me
Hamza Mbareche is a consultant, researcher and trainer who works at the convergence
of microbial occupational exposure, genomics, and public health and ranks in the top 0.25% of Air Microbiology experts worldwide according to Expertscape. He harnesses cutting-edge technologies to improve the environmental safety of workplaces and public spaces.
His postdoctoral research has consisted of airborne microorganisms, the microbiome, genomics, and bioinformatics as he focuses on environmental health. His expertise encompasses the detection and sequencing of Orthobunyaviruses from mosquitoes in Southern Ontario, whole-genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 from patient swabs and environmental samples and the Whole Genome Sequencing of Influenza A virus in bioaerosols collected from swine barns.
Mbareche’s graduate research of High-Throughput Sequencing technologies was the foundation for all of this, in which he sought to describe the microbial diversity of fungi and bacteria in the air of different environments and in the context of occupational exposure.
He is able to generate personalized bioinformatics scripts by coding and analyzing data using R and Python. The use of such bioinformatics tools allows for more expedient and thorough data analyses.
Hamza Mbareche believes in building collective knowledge in the field of science through collaboration. With this in mind, he has designed and delivered training about sequencing to diverse audiences, including undergraduate and graduate students and hospital staff. He has been the subject matter expert at speaking engagements regarding Next-Generation Sequencing and bioinformatics, and has built a High-Throughput Sequencing and Bioinformatics for Microbial Studies workshop in Professor Caroline Duchaine’s laboratory. Further, Hamza spent three years as a graduate teaching assistant in two microbiology labs at Université Laval: Technique de microbiologie and Isolement et culture des microorganisms.
Hamza authored 30 articles for peer-reviewed scientific publications. Among his notable contributions is an article about airborne viral transmission in a simulated Intensive Care Unit room that was published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. As an expert in the field, he has reviewed 39 publications for 26 peer-reviewed journals, primarily regarding Next-Generation Sequencing studies. He also wrote a chapter in the Encyclopedia of Mycology book about Next-Generation Sequencing in environmental mycology.
