Profile Summary

Profile Summary:
I am a distinguished and tenured Professor of Pharmacology with over 15 years of extensive academic, research, and administrative experience. Currently serving as the Head of the Department of Pharmacology & Therapeutics at the University of Health Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan, I have a proven track record of leadership, innovation, and excellence in pharmacology and drug discovery. With a PhD in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from Xi’an Jiaotong University, China, and postdoctoral research experience at the University of Queensland, Australia, and the Kunming Institute of Zoology, China, I have developed a robust research portfolio focused on drug discovery, molecular pharmacology, and the therapeutic potential of natural and synthetic compounds.
My research spans diverse areas, including anti-HIV drug screening, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, pharmacogenetics, and the development of disease models. I have led numerous funded research projects, including the Pakistan Randomized and Observational Trial to Evaluate Coronavirus Treatment (PROTECT), which contributed to identifying potential COVID-19 treatments. My work has been published in high-impact journals such as Nature Communications, Journal of Medical Virology, and Frontiers in Pharmacology, reflecting my significant contributions to the field.
Throughout my career, I have supervised more than 35 Master's and 15 PhD students, guiding them through their academic and research endeavors. This mentorship has contributed to their professional growth and enriched my understanding of diverse 
methodologies and scientific inquiry. My commitment to fostering the next generation of researchers is a cornerstone of my academic philosophy.
In addition to my research and teaching, I have demonstrated exceptional administrative capabilities, overseeing the development of a state-of-the-art university campus, including advanced research laboratories and student hostels. I received prestigious awards, including the Endeavour Research Award (Australia) and the CAS-PIFI Award (China), and I serve on the editorial boards of several scientific journals.
I am deeply committed to advancing pharmacological sciences, mentoring emerging researchers, and fostering collaborative, multidisciplinary research to address global health challenges.
