HOD Microbiology

I am honored to have taken over the charge as Head of the Department of Microbiology on 21st July 2025. Guided by the vision to align our academic programs with the fast-evolving global scientific landscape, I have introduced four new and highly specialized disciplines under our BS program:

1. Environmental Microbiology and Climate Change – addressing the urgent need for scientific solutions to environmental challenges.

2. Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapeutics – pioneering research and education in one of the most promising frontiers of medical science.

3. Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering – empowering innovation in life sciences, industry, and healthcare

4. Clinical Microbiology and Laboratory Technology – introduced for the first time in Pakistan, producing competent professionals to meet modern clinical diagnostic demands.

These disciplines are designed to cater to emerging scientific, healthcare, industrial, and environmental needs, producing graduates who are not only academically excellent but also capable of contributing meaningfully to national and global challenges.

With a commitment to quality education, advanced research, and industry collaboration, the Department of Microbiology at Abbottabad University of Science and Technology is ready to become a hub of innovation and leadership in the field of life sciences.
