I am Dr. Noor ul Akbar, a molecular biologist and lecturer in the Department of Zoology and Microbiology at Kohat University of Science and Technology (KUST), Pakistan. My academic background includes a Ph.D. in Zoology with a focus on Molecular Biology and Immunology, as well as an MPhil in Molecular Parasitology, both from KUST. My research primarily focuses on genetic and molecular investigations related to diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, and parasitic infections. I have published over 25 research articles in high-impact journals, covering topics from microbial genetics to nanotechnology.
