I am working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Management and Technology. My expertise lies in predicting treatment responses for infectious diseases through molecular diagnostic techniques. Specifically, my research focuses on elucidating the immune response triggered by viral infections, which plays a critical role in immune surveillance. This involves analyzing both cellular and humoral immunity to combat viral infections, a theme central to my doctoral research. I earned my PhD in Biochemistry from the Institute of Biochemistry & Biotechnology at The University of Punjab, Lahore. During my doctoral studies, I conducted research at the Center for Integrated Genomic Medical Research and The Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre, University of Manchester, U.K. My PhD thesis titled "Interleukin 28-B Polymorphism Associated with HCV Treatment Induced Viral Clearance" highlighted my exploration into genetic factors influencing viral
