Biography
My research and teaching interests have been fostered by 12 years of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and mentoring as faculty member in the Department of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering, Kohat University of Science and Technology, Kohat, Pakistan. My PhD and current research interests are focused upon protein purifications and extremophilic enzymes. I had one project worth 0.5 million funded by Directorate of Science and Technology, Peshawar entitled as “Large scale purification of industrially important proteases utilizing the charge based and hydrophobic interaction based chromatography”. This project is completed and data is published in well reputed journals. The second project has been funded by NRPU-HEC to explore extremophilic microbes collected from desert, hot springs and salt mines in order to produce enzymes which can be used in harsh laboratory conditions. These enzymes will be feasible in extreme laboratory conditions such as temperature, pH and high salt concentrations. This may result to identify novel bacteria/fungi with high expression quality and may result in patents
