    I am a dynamic and enthusiastic young scientist belong to district Dir upper, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. I am a cardiovascular physiologist and mitochondrial biologist, and my current research is focused on innovative role of mitochondrial dynamics (MD), intermitochondrial communication (IMC) and mitochondrial nanotunnels (MNTs) in ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)-induced ST segment elevated myocardial Infarction (STEMI). I am keenly interested in altered cardiac mitochondrial morphology (shape, size, positioning and motility), mitochondrial structural adaptations (mitochondrial fission fusion cycle, mitochondrial hibernation), IMC and novel compensatory physiological mechanisms of mitochondrial nanotunneling in cardiomyocytes during the course of development of MI, and genetic and pharmacological manipulation of MNTs to find out some therapeutic avenues. Currently, I am working as a lecturer in Veterinary Physiology in College of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry, Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan (AWKUM) Pakistan from last 10 years. Before joining AWKUM, I was working as a lecturer in Veterinary Physiology in Gomal College of Veterinary Sciences, Gomal University Dera Ismail Khan Pakistan for almost 3 years. I have completed my five year graduation as Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) with an award of Chancellor’s Gold Medal by securing 3.90 CGPA (85.43%) and post graduation as master of philosophy (M. Phil) in Department of Veterinary Physiology and Biochemistry with an award of Chancellor’s Gold Medal by achieving 91.56 % score from Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Sciences, Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam (SAU) Pakistan in June, 2011 and October, 2013 respectively. I have completed my PhD in Medical Sciences specialized in Cardiovascular Physiology from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), Hong Kong (36th ranked university in QS global ranking 2024-25) on the prestigious postgraduate scholarship (PGS). I have secured this lavish scholarship of 20000 Hong Kong Dollars (2500 USD) per month for my PhD study in Medical Sciences at the Centre for Cardiovascular Genomics and Medicine (CCGM), Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), Hong Kong. I have also been awarded Dragon Culture Scholarship (DSC) of 50,000 Hong Kong Dollars (6500 USD) for Outstanding Medical Postgraduate Students in Division of Medical Sciences in CUHK during my PhD study. I have also been received merit and need-based scholarships of 2000 USD each from United State Agency for International Development (USAID) both in my graduation and post graduation in SAU Tandojam, Pakistan. I am teaching almost all subjects of Zoology, Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Sciences in general and subjects of Veterinary Physiology and Biochemistry in particular including General Principles of Physiology, Cell Physiology, Physiology of Digestion and Lactation, Cardiovascular, Respiratory and Renal Physiology, Neuromuscular Physiology and Endocrinology, Physiology of Reproduction and Artificial Insemination (AI), Clinical Pathology, Introduction to General Biochemistry, Biochemistry of Metabolism, Molecular Biology, Introduction to Animal Breeding and Genetics, Animal Breeding Plans and Policies to students of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and M. Phil degree programs from last twelve (12) years. In Veterinary Sciences, I have my research expertise in the field of Veterinary Physiology, Cell and Molecular Biology. I am keenly interested in Artificial Insemination (AI), Cryopreservation of semen, Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART), Embryo Transfer, IVF, GIFT, IVC, IVM, Sperm capacitation and maturation, ICSI, Assisted Hatching, Estrus Synchronization, Superovulation, Oocyte maturation, Sperm and embryo sexing, embryo splitting and cloning. I am well versed with molecular biology techniques like isolation of DNA and RNA, Primer design, PCR, protein electrophoresis and Western blot. I have 12 years of teaching and research experience in higher academic institutions as well as practical clinical experience in field condition of Veterinary Sciences. I feel myself comfortable while working with laboratory and domestic animals. I am hard working and motivated learner, capable of working independently and in a team environment as reflected by my manuscript publications (30 in numbers) in international and national journals, many of which are co-authored with fellow researchers.
