Research Intersts: The camel has special physiological characteristics that enable it to convert poor quality desert pasture into meat, milk and work under extreme conditions of dehydration. However, the camel is a domestic animal whose full agricultural potential has not been achieved because of its low reproductive efficiency. Most of the causes of poor reproductive efficiency are ill defined but generally seem to originate from poor management, locally fluctuating microclimate or some unexplained intrinsic factors. Therefore improvements in camel production require better knowledge of the control of reproduction at molecular and cellular levels. Study of reproductive biology of one-humped camel in the natural ecology of Pakistan.

Research Intersts: Anatomy is the fundamental and basic unit of medical science. My research area is related to macroscopic as well as microscopic studies of birds and animals. The mammary glands are very important part of large animals in respect to milk production, I also worked on the macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of mammary glands and their secretions i.e., physiochemical and compositional analysis of milk from buffalo and cow.

Research Intersts: 1.Gross Anatomical studies of different animals. Biometry, age and sex related changes. 2.Different Reproductive physiological changes in relation to treatment with different hormones. 3.Oxidant and antioxidant status of different animal species.
Research Intersts: Cardiovascular diseases are one of the major causes of human mortalities. Among the various cardiovascular diseases, coronary artery disease is mainly responsible for atherosclerosis and is major cause of human death toll. Maternal nutritional status during pregnancy influences health status of each and every organ of a new born, including cardiovascular system. These influences have been linked with incidence of cardiovascular diseases during later stages of life. Studies have shown that thicknesses of carotid and aortic intima and media can help predicting the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, there is scarcity of literature about if maternal nutrition effects the thickness of tunica intima and media of coronary vessels or not. My area of interest encompasses influence of maternal under-nutrition upon coronary vasculature during different stages of pregnancy.
Research Intersts: Macro and microscopic changes in the reproductive and immune systems of the seasonal breeders
Research Intersts: Dr. Shah Nawaz Sial has worked on chondrogenesis and cartilage regeneration using stem cells culture. He has also contributed in nerve regeneration, and tendon healing using several biomaterials. Other than basic histological techniques, he has gained exposure to research using amniotic fluid, bone marrow and adipose derived stem cells as well as on certain cell lines including hFOB and A549. He has mastered various blotting techniques; performed complex, cell-based assays; and became skilled in western blotting, fluorescence microscopy, gel electrophoresis and qPCR. In each role, he has earned commendations for the quality of his research, including data collection, quantitative analysis and results interpretation. He is TS EN ISO/EC 17025:2017 certified professional and possess the necessary preparation and skills to contribute in research pool.
