I have an academic background in Food Science & Technology and over two decades of experience in scientific R&D related to agri-food quality and safety. My scientific career has been built within the Food Quality and Safety Research Institute of Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (PARC), the apex national research organization that undertakes, promotes and coordinates agricultural research in Pakistan. I am always very keen to avail the opportunity of gaining up-to-date knowledge and developing new competencies and skills by working in collaborations and am eager to learn and expand my horizons into new avenues of science.
