About
I earned my Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Toxicology from Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran, under the prestigious Diamond Scholarship Program. Currently, I serve as an Associate Professor and Head, Department of Pharmacology, at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Capital University of Science and Technology (CUST), Islamabad, Pakistan. I completed my postdoctoral research at the College of Medicine, University of Arizona, USA, and have over 10 years of experience in teaching and research, both in Pakistan and abroad. My research interests span the fields of pharmacology and toxicology, with a focus on genotoxicity, oxidative stress, endocrine disorders, toxicant-induced pathophysiology, and mechanistic toxicity studies. Beyond my teaching and supervision of M.Phil. students, I am serving as Convener of the Curriculum Review Committee and member of the Board of Studies (BOS) and Board of Faculty (BOF) at the Faculty of Pharmacy, CUST. I have published extensively in high-impact international journals and have authored over 40 book chapters. My scholarly contributions have received more than 2,600 citations, with an h-index of 31 and an i10-index of 48. I am an Associate Editor for Frontiers in Endocrinology, Section Editor for Drug and Chemical Toxicology, and serve as a Review Editor for several other international journals. My research excellence has been recognized with awards, including Avicenna’s Best Researcher Award by the International Campus, Tehran University of Medical Sciences. I am a member of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) and the Society of Toxicology (SOT).
