Research Focus

Dr. Charbel Fadel’s research focus lies in veterinary pharmacology, particularly in the comparative pharmacokinetics of various drugs in livestock species like sheep and goats. His studies, including those on metronidazole and omeprazole, aim to enhance the understanding of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in these animals. This research is crucial for optimizing veterinary care and ensuring effective medication dosages in different animal species. Dr. Fadel’s work supports the development of more tailored and efficient treatment protocols for livestock, contributing to both animal health and agricultural practices.
