Pharmacist, Pharmaceutical Scientist and Innovative Problem Solver

Profile Summary

With over 15 years of university-level teaching and research experience, I am driven by a passion for science, education, and innovation in pharmaceutical sciences. I hold a PhD from Chapman University School of Pharmacy, Irvine, California, achieved under the prestigious Fulbright Scholarship. My journey, marked by significant achievements, including 40 high-impact scientific publications and numerous awards, reflects my dedication to advancing healthcare research and education. Currently, I am serving as an Associate Professor at the University of Central Punjab, Lahore, where I have been a pioneer faculty member since the Faculty of Pharmacy's inception. Over the years, I have nurtured a deep connection with students, consistently receiving excellent feedback due to my engaging teaching methods and commitment to fostering a love for science. My leadership extends beyond the classroom through regular articles on career counseling, active engagement on social media platforms, and a series of video lectures available on YouTube. In addition to my academic endeavors in Pakistan, I have a strong international footprint. After completing my second M.Phil. in Pharmaceutics, I went on to pass the FPGEE and TOEFL, equating my Pharm.D. degree to a US Bachelor’s in Pharmacy. I further enhanced my profile through a postdoctoral fellowship at Chapman University under Professor Dr. Surya Nauli, contributing to cutting-edge research in biopharmaceutics and expanding my global academic network. My unique blend of experience positions me at the intersection of international research excellence and local educational leadership, where I aspire to continue contributing to high-impact research and teaching, both in the USA and Pakistan. I am always open to collaborative opportunities with universities and research institutions that share my vision of integrating innovative teaching and impactful research to shape the future of pharmaceutical sciences.
