Department of Biochemistry
Prof. Amer Jamil, Ph.D.

Position & Department: Chairman/, Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences

Research Intersts: Working on: Recombinant gene expression of bioactive genes of bioactive peptides such as plant cyclotides, peptides from insects, antimicrobial peptides etc; DNA barcoding of medicinal plant species, animals, fish, bacteria, fungi; microRNA as early diagnostic markers; Nanobiotechnology; Polyadenylation factors in eukaryotic cells.

 
Dr. Khalid Mahmood Khan (Professor Emeritus)

Position & Department: Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences

Research Intersts:

 
Dr. Muhammad Asghar, Ph.D.

Position & Department: Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences

Research Intersts: Fermentation process development for production of industrial enzymes, single cell protein, organic acids and other industrial products using agro-industrial wastes and by- products. Biocatalysis: Enzyme kinetics, production, purification, characterization, engineering, immobilization, chemical modifications and industrial applications of microbial enzymes. Bioremediation and biosorption of textile dyes and heavy metals, bioremediation of effluents from textile and other industries.

 
Dr. Muhammad Shahid, Ph.D.

Position & Department: Associate Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences

Research Intersts: Research on Bioactive peptides/ protein including antioxidant, antimicrobial peptides is a fast growing scientific field, due to the development of development of (seems to be) unbreakable wall of resistant in the microbes against the antibiotics. I am among the warriors against this wall searching the weapon from the natural source. My group also develops many of the assays related to different metabiolobically important enzymes from animal and plant source, We have very good expertise and set up in the field of protein purification and characterization. Currently, we also started working on bacterioncins procudtion from LAB as natural preservative and functional food component. We has very good collaboration with different research groups not only within university but also others national and international groups.

Dr. Muhammad Ali, Ph.D.

Position & Department: Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences

Research Intersts: Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Recombinant DNA technology, and Genetic Engineering We deal with the transcriptional, translational, and metabolic studies for the treatment of diabetes, breast cancer, and liver injury. We use docking tools to find candidate drugs for the treatment of above stated diseases. We utilized prokaryotic system, cell lines, and mouse models for our research work. Along with metabolic studies, study of signaling pathway is specialty of MMGL (Mammalian Molecular Genetics Lab). For the study of these pathways, we use Western blotting. We also routinely use different software like MOE, NCBI, Ensemble, Primer quest, Mega 6.06, SnapGene, and GraphPad. a) Diabetes (drugs, phytochemicals, signaling pathway, mechanism, and in-vivo studies) b) Liver injury (drugs, phytochemicals, signaling pathway, mechanism, and in-vivo studies) c) Breast cancer (drugs, phytochemicals, signaling pathway, mechanism, and in-vivo studies) d) CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing (knockout, cKO, and transgenic) e) Mouse models of human diseases for in-vivo studies f) Docking by MOE; basic tools of bioinformatics for recombinant DNA technology, primer designing g) Production of recombinant monoclonal antibodies For more detail, please visit our website: http://lifesciencesorg.com
