Muhammad Irfan Fareed is a professional innovative and dedicated Agricultural Biotechnologist with 13 years of experience in advancing agricultural practices through biotechnological research and development. Expert in genetic engineering, plant breeding, and sustainable agriculture, with a proven track record of enhancing crop yield, improving plant resistance to pests and diseases, and developing environmentally friendly agricultural solutions.. Here are some common professional achievements: 1. Developed transgenic disease-resistant plants: During Master degree in one of the prestigious university of Pakistan (NUST university), he has developed methods to engineer Nicotiana benthamiana and cotton plants with increased resistance to Tomato leaf curl new Delhi virus diseases. This achievement has helped farmers minimize losses due to CLCuV and ToLCuNDV diseases and reduce the reliance on chemical pesticides. 2. During PhD research he studied the whole cascade of RNAi in Arabidospis.
