Biography

I have an extensive experience in pharmacy, focusing on education and industry roles. Since February 2021, I have been associated with the Department of Pharmacy at Iqra University, where my responsibilities include teaching various Pharm. D courses and performing different departmental activities. Moreover, my authorship in ten research articles in various national and international journals is proof of my robust research capabilities. Previously, I have served as an Assistant Professor at a private university for five years where, besides teaching, I was engaged in administrative and organizational duties. My industry experience includes roles in the Department of Quality Operations, which consists of both Quality Control and Quality Assurance, in national (AGP and Macter) and multinational companies (Bayer Pakistan). My pharmacy career, encompassing academia and industry, reflects a diverse and comprehensive skill set that benefits my students when facing professional challenges.
