Dr. Muhammad Tahir joined the Department of Zoology, Government College University (GCU), Lahore in 2016, where he is presently serving as Professor and Chairperson. He also holds the position of Director, Dr. Nazir Ahmad Institute of Biological Sciences, GCU Lahore, contributing extensively to teaching, research, and academic leadership. He was awarded a Post-Doctoral Fellowship (HEC, 2013–2014) for research in the USA. 2025). Dr. Tahir earned his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of the Punjab, Lahore, where he received the Merit Scholarship for Ph.D. studies (2004). His research expertise encompasses Biomaterials, Molecular and Applied Entomology, Molecular Systematics, DNA Barcoding, Biostatistics, Biodiversity, and Conservation Biology. Dr. Tahir has authored over 240 research papers in reputed national and international journals, with a cumulative impact factor exceeding 300. His studies have advanced understanding in biomaterial research, insect pest management, nanotechnology, and hydrogel development for biomedical and wound-healing applications. He has significantly contributed to molecular and applied entomology, integrating taxonomy and molecular tools to elucidate arthropod diversity and ecosystem dynamics in Pakistan. In recognition of his contributions, he has received several honors, including the Prof. Dr. Imtiaz Ahmad Gold Medal (2016), Dr. Mirza Azhar Beg Gold Medal (2015), and Prof. Dr. Anjum Suhail Memorial Gold Medal from the AZP.
