Faculty Proflle

Biography:

I earned my PhD in Biochemistry from Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, in 2013, with a research focus on the molecular genetics and clinical aspects of cardiovascular diseases using advanced standard techniques. I have published several high-quality research articles in internationally recognized journals. After joining COMSATS University, I established a productive research environment equipped for practical work in molecular cardiology and diabetology. My long-term research goal is to elucidate the role of genetic factors in complex disorders and to develop effective therapeutic strategies for risk reduction. Currently, my research group is actively investigating the pathogenic role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in coronary artery disease.
