Biography

I completed my doctorate in 2005 from the International Center of Chemical and Biological Sciences, HEJ Research Institute of Chemistry and thereafter, accomplished one-year postdoctoral research at the same institute. I also carried out another postdoctoral research during 2018-19 in Medicinal Chemistry at Kongju National University, South Korea. I have published 339 research articles in reputed journals in the field of Organic and Medicinal Chemistry, with total citations of 3,183. I have supervised/co-supervised 12 PhD and 83 MS/M.Phil. Scholars and completed 06 funded research projects. I am author of 06 books and a chapter in a book. I am (seven times) recipient of Research Productivity Award (RPA) conferred by Pakistan Council for Science and Technology, Ministry of Science and Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan. I am rendering services as an Associate Editor of the “Organic and Medicinal Chemistry International Journal” and “Bioequivalence & Bioavailability International Journal”.
