In order to keep pace with rapid scientific advancements and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being), the Department of Optics organized a distinguished academic event in the form of a specialized lecture titled "Antibiotics: How They Work in the Human Body and the Challenges of Resistance,” presented by Lecturer Safa Amer Khalil. During the lecture, Ms. Safa Amer Khalil addressed the precise “mechanism of action” that antibiotics follow within biological systems, explaining in simplified scientific terms how these intelligent compounds distinguish between bacterial cells and human cells, targeting vulnerabilities in the bacterial cell wall or its genetic code. The lecture also reviewed the latest scientific findings regarding the “next generation” of antibiotics, which rely on nanotechnology and artificial intelligence to identify bacterial targets with extreme precision. Current challenges were not overlooked during the lecture, as lecturer Safa Amer Khalil reviewed recent international reports indicating the rise of “superbugs.” She explained that the challenge lies not only in the scarcity of new drug discoveries but also in the “evolutionary race” between microbes and medical technology, warning that misuse could make even the simplest surgical procedures risky in the near future.
