Research Intersts: Prof. Amer Jamil is group leader of Molecular Biochemistry group in the Department of Biochemistry, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. In fact he established the research group in the University with advanced research facilities from research grants from various national and international funding agencies such as HEC, IFPRI, USAID, IFS etc. So far he has produced 17 PhD scholars, 49 M.Phil. and 75 M.Sc. students under his supervision. Specialization of Prof. Jamil is Molecular Biology with research emphasis on gene expression. His research group has isolated some peptides with high bioactivities that have therapeutic potential. He has also exploited his expertise in molecular biology towards DNA barcoding of medicinal plants. His group has barcoded more than 150 medicinal plants of Cholistan desert and Swat valley. He also organized awareness workshops in both of these regions for community. Prof. Jamil has contributed many publications to the journals of international repute. To create awareness about the subject in the country, Prof. Jamil has published many articles in the national newspapers. Prof. Jamil has attended many national and international conferences and presented papers. He himself has organized many seminars, lectures and scientific meetings. He has organized two international conferences as Organizing Secretary, and an and international symposium as Chief Organizer with more than 1000 participants from all over Pakistan and abroad in each activity. Prof. Jamil also has organized several workshops and hands-on trainings in the area of Molecular Biology. Prof. Jamil has done tremendous contribution towards community service. He has established an entrepreneur with multi-dimensions under the name Molecular Care (www.molcare.org). It is offering diagnostic services in molecular biology and special biochemistry meeting international quality standards under biosafety level-2 environment. It is also offering hands-on trainings, bioinformatics services, research solutions for researchers and students especially from the newly emerging universities, etc. In recognition of his research work, Prof. Jamil was awarded Young Scientist Fellowship by the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in the 18th International Congress of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, U.K., from amongst the research scholars around the world. Owing to his contributions in the field of biological sciences, Prof. Jamil was awarded TWAS (Third World Academy of Sciences) prize for Young Scientists in the South in the field of Biology. He is included in the list of leading scientists of Pakistan, published by the Pakistan Council for Science and Technology. He has also earned research productivity award several times from the Government of Pakistan. He earned PAS Gold Medal in the subject of Biochemistry by the Pakistan Academy of Sciences. He represented Pakistan in general assembly of a very august forum IUBMB held in Brazil.

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.
Research Intersts: Enzyme Biotechnology: Protein Engineering, Production of Cell free proteins and Biomolecular NMR analysis, Cloning and Site-directed mutagenesis of genes, Clinical Biochemistry, ELISA and Immunological Techniques, Chromatographic Techniques like FPLC, HPLC.
