Pakistan has traditional culture of thousands years. People has cast system and prefer to marriage in cast. consanguineous marriages arise multiple health issues including unusual high number of genetic mutations which leads to disabilities in children. According to genetic mutation reports of Pakistan in 2017, more than 1,000 mutations have been reported in 130 different kinds of genetic disorders in Pakistan. Therefore, this lab aimed to report novel mutations in skin, skeleton, neural, Muscular and eye genetic disorders. We also aimed for the genetic Counseling of affected families to manage the disorders and measures to prevent in the future.
The Applied Zoology lab is established with the aim to conduct the research in the filed of Human Molecular Genetics, Computational Biology and Nanotechnology. For this purpose, lab has all the basic facilities. The goal of the Applied Zoology lab is to satisfy students' curiosity in applied fields for personal growth and community service. We are in desire to establish the collaborations for advance level research. We welcome all students and researchers for collaborations.
Currently lab is working on different domain of hereditary disorders of human, In silico gene analysis and Nanobiotechnology. Ph.D scholars of the lab are also working on Neurological, Neurodegenerative movement disorders, skeleton disorders and congenital eyes disorders. In addition, different types of nan biomaterials are also being synthesized in the lab for biological applications.
Currently, lab has all basic facilities related to Human Molecular Genetics, computational Biology and Nanotechnology and we are moving to advance and cutting-edge technology. Currently, 10 Ph.D, 34 M.Phil. Scholars are enrolled and pursuing their research in the filed of Human Molecular Genetics, Computational Biology and Nanotechnology.
