In population structure of 500 individuals. Analyzing autosomal and Y-chromosomal STRs in Pakistani populations can provide valuable insights into their demographic history, lineage characterization, and forensic applications.
Researchers of the Plant Biotechnology lab have successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of multiplexed Cas9-based genome editing in reducing viral load in cotton plants. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00425-023-04233-w
Growth performance of heat and drought transgenic cotton plants and boll formation in field conditions and Relative expression of AsHSP70 and GhHSP70 through RT-qPCR in different tissues of transgenic plants under drought, heat, cold and drought/heat stress.
To combat multi-drug resistance, researchers in Medical Biotechnology Lab have found indigenous bacteriophages & plants having therapeutic potential against MDR bacteria & fungi. Extracts of Plants also possessed anti-cancerous & pesticidal activities. At molecular level, MDR gene silencing through miRNA was also performed in cancerous cell lines.
Extensive research at the Nutraceutical and Microbial Biotechnology Lab, involving in-vitro, in-vivo, and in-silico studies, identifies a promising plant from class Equisetopsida against Alzheimer's disease. These findings hold potential for developing a novel pharmaceutical agent for Alzheimer's disease
Message: Founding Director/Creator
It is a distinct honor and a profound privilege to write Founding Director’s message for the CEMB.
This message consists of two parts namely,
Genesis of CEMB
Growth and Development of CEMB Teaching and Research Program
The message will conclude with a word of advice to CEMB research fellows for consideration in the pursuit of their goals in molecular biology teaching and research
Message: Director CEMB
As Director, I am committed to ensuring that CEMB continues to make valuable contributions to science. To this end, i aim to strengthen linkages with industry, support innovation in cutting-edge product development, promote commercialization of developed products, engage policymakers for making informed decision pertaining to science, and provide an intellectually-stimulating environment to both young and established researchers for molecular biology research, education, and training.
May Allah give us strength to achieve our goals. Ameen.
