Biography
A dynamic researcher having PhD degree in Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics) from Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan (2017), with more than 15 years of managerial, administrative, clinical, drug analysis, teaching and research experience. I worked as postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Sudax Murdan Research group at UCL School of Pharmacy and investigated various potential vaccine adjuvants for sublingual vaccination. My principal research interest is design and development of delivery systems for drugs and vaccines, intended for oral administration. Also, my research includes targeting the gastrointestinal tract; use of nano-formulations and studying pharmacokinetics and bioavailability. Recently, I have started exploring the potential of biosynthesized metallic nanoparticles as vaccine adjuvants and antimicrobials. Moreover, I am a dedicated, motivated and enthusiastic teacher who is concerned about developing critical thinking and productive learning in students. Research interests
