Working as Research Officer in the Office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization {ORIC}, my responsibilities are to manage research activities such as research siminars, workshops, conferences and publications at Peshawar Medical College.
It was an international research appointment through IRSIP, HEC Pakistan in Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Aarhus University Denmark. I worked as Guest Researcher in the proteomics lab of Emoke Bendixen (http://pure.au.dk/portal/da/[email protected]) where I performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing, 2D SDS immunoblotting, NanoDrop, Mass Spectrometry and worked with different bioinformatics tools like Analyst, UniProt, Protein Pilot, PeakView, Skyline and MEGA-X to characterize immuno-reactive proteins of Salmonella typhi.Â
A project funded by Higher Education Commission Islamabad entitled \"Development of rapid serodetection test for accurate and affordable diagnosis of typhoid fever in Pakistan\" in which I worked as Research Associate. My main responsibilities were to conduct research on typhoid patients` blood samples and worked on immuno-reactive proteins of salmonella typhi to find candidate proteins which will further be used for the development of test. These immuno-reactive proteins will identified by 2D SDS and Mass Spectrometry.
During this tenure, I worked as Bioinformatician and taught different bioinformatics tools like NCBI, BLAST, Uni Prot, Swiss Prot, Protein pilot, Skyline, MEGA-X etc to research students.
Appointed as Internee Lecturer in Microbiology department of Kohat University of Science and Technology by the management of National Internship Program Islamabad. During my tenure, I worked as lab demonstrator and helped in research experiments with BS and MS students.
The project entitled \"Biological control of Haemonchus contortus by fungal antagonists in small ruminants\" funded by Pakistan Science Foundation. In which we successfully controlled the population of this parasite biological by fungi. I performed research work, maintained audit and prepared technical and fiscal reports for the project . From the research work, published a paper in an international journal with good impact factor.
