HEC Approved Supervisor: YES
Research Intersts: The aim of my research and teaching is focused on Medical Microbiology and zoonotic diseases. I am interested in investigating opportunistic infections in HIV-infected patients. During my masters and PhD research in France, I worked on the aspects of latency induced by HIV-1, especially in microglial cells. With the introduction of HAART, viremia in AIDS patients can be reduced to non-detectable levels. But re-emergence of HIV-1 is the main cause of life long anti-HIV therapy. This re-emergence is mainly associated with latency. In Pakistan, I am interested in investigating opportunistic infection prevalent in AIDS patients, based on my knowledge acquired during my PhD in France. Currently, I am working on project to know prevalence of FIV and FeLV, to know retroviral load in domestic cats.
