I did my PhD in Bioinformatics from Capital University of Science and Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan. I am specialized in Cancer Informatics and my PhD thesis was focused on Bioinformatics and experimental analysis of genetic and non-genetic basis of breast cancer in Pakistani population. I have experience of working in top-notch organization in both wet lab and dry labs including Bioinformatics core, department of oncology at the University of Oxford, UK and Institute of Biomedical and Genetic Engineering, Islamabad, Pakistan. I always endeavor to balance my teaching, research, and service commitments at level commensurate with my position, which is 100% teaching, 100% research, and 100% service.
I invest considerable time in long-term and short-term external and internal service commitments because these opportunities allow me to apply my experiences to on-the-ground efforts. I believe strongly in always being on the forefront of technological development. My plans for the future involve building strength in each of the focal areas of my research program. I firmly believe in the integrity and professionalism of my work and strive to ensure that every aspect of what I do also upholds the organizational core values. I will keep updating emerging technologies and techniques and will search for creative applications that can lead to successful grant and funding supports.
