In CEMB, as a research officer, he worked in two different fields of molecular biology i.e., \u201cGenetics\u201d and \u201cVirology\u201d. In genetics, his research was on the most prevalent genetic disease in Pakistan i.e., deafness. In virology, he worked in a diagnostic laboratory and participated in the PM\u2019s Program for Prevention &amp; Control of Hepatitis. Later, He got Ph.D. scholarship from HEC Pakistan under 5000 indigenous scholarship scheme and did Ph.D. in 2015. He also got IRSIP scholarship from HEC, Pakistan and completed his six-month training at Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital Medical Centre, University of Cincinnati, USA. His areas of interest are genetic diseases and molecular medicine. In genetic diseases, his focus is to understand the molecular mechanisms behind Alzheimer\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s diseases in the Pakistani population which will be helpful in the development of strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases in future. In molecular medicine, he focuses on screening Pakistani medicinal plants against Cancer and neurological diseases to identify the therapeutic plants and compounds which will be helpful in the development of medicine against these diseases.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Research Interests:<\/b><\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li><b>Alzheimer\u2019s &amp; Parkinson\u2019s Diseases<\/b><ul><li>Identification of Biomarkers &amp; Molecular Pathways<\/li><li>Screening of potent plants and chemicals against these diseases<\/li><li>Mutational spectrum of these diseases in the Pakistani Population<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><b>Cancer<\/b><ul><li>Identification of potent plants and chemicals against various cancers<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Selected Publications:<\/b><\/p><ol><li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Akram, M., Khan, M.A., Ahmed, N., Bhatti, R., Pervaiz, R., Malik, K., Tahir, S., Abbas, R., Ashraf, F. and Ali, Q., 2023.
