About
Dr. Akash is currently working as associate professor and chairman at Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Government College University Faisalabad (GCUF), Pakistan. He got his bachelor and master’s degrees in pharmacy from Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan and PhD degree in Pharmaceutical Analysis from Zhejiang University, China. He has published more than 180 articles in internationally recognized peer-reviewed ISI-indexed journals. He has also published 60 book chapters with international publishers and 11 books with Springer-Nature and ELSEVIER. Currently, he is focusing on the investigating the effect of environmental contaminants (ECs) on various molecular and metabolic pathways that are involved in metabolic disorders and the treatment strategies of these ECs-induced metabolic disorders funded by Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan. His Research work is the cutting edge and worthy of extension in developing countries like Pakistan, where it can be most beneficial and cost-effective especially for diabetic patients. Based on his significant scientific contributions in the field of Pharmaceutical Sciences, he has been awarded “Research Productivity Award” from Pakistan Council for Science and Technology (PCST), PAS Gold Medal from Pakistan Academy of Sciences and A.R. Shakoori Gold Medal from Zoological Society of Pakistan. Currently, he is also serving as the Associate Editor of 8 peer-reviewed scientific journals.
