Core Areas of Expertise

Professional Experience & Research Philosophy

I am a Professor of Biochemistry with over twenty-five years of academic and research experience, specializing in medical biochemistry, biochemical diversity, phytochemicals, and nutraceutical chemistry. Since September 2001, I have actively engaged in teaching and mentoring both postgraduate and undergraduate students, developing strong expertise in research supervision, scientific training, and curriculum development. I have successfully guided 35 M.Phil. and 4 Ph.D. scholars. I have undertaken international research fellowships at the University of Bristol (UK) and the ARC ITTC for Functional Grains at Charles Sturt University (Australia). My research contributions include approximately 50 publications in reputable Q1 international journals, reflecting a solid and ongoing commitment to advancing biochemical sciences. Throughout my academic journey, I have participated in hands-on training workshops organized by renowned research organizations and have helped coordinate conferences and seminars, enhancing my professional insights. I received the prestigious Pride of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Award on February 11, 2025, awarded by Matrix and the District Government, KP, in recognition of my outstanding contributions to research, education, and community development.

As the Director of Student Counseling, Placement, and Human Resources Development at the Youth Development Center, I support the academic, professional, and personal growth of students, scholars, and faculty. Our directorate fosters motivation, confidence, and career readiness through various programs and services. We provide educational guidance and personalized counseling to address academic, personal, social, emotional, and financial concerns. This voluntary role allows me to contribute significantly to student development and institutional well-being.
