About Me
I am serving as a teacher and researcher in the Department of Zoology at The Islamia University of Bahawalpur. my academic role likely combines:
My expertise spans multiple areas of biological sciences, which positions you well for mentoring students in both classical zoology and modern applied biosciences.
One of the most significant highlights of my career is co-authorship in the landmark 2004 research published in Nature regarding diclofenac poisoning in vultures. That work became globally important because it helped identify veterinary diclofenac as a major cause of catastrophic vulture population declines in South Asia.
