Since the past eighteen years I have been engaged in the fields of plant breeding, genetics, molecular biology, and biotechnology. My career goals centre on tailoring crop varieties with better tolerance to the changing environment through breeding and genome engineering. In my earlier research at NIBGE and UC-Berkeley, I worked on the characterization of leaf curl disease and examined transgene stacking using site-specific recombinases in cotton. Before joining CABB, I also worked at the Department of Plant Breeding and genetics (UAF) where I focused on mapping genes for yield and water stress tolerance through association mapping. Currently, I am working as an Associate Professor (Tenured) at CABB in the area of cotton biotechnology with the aim to developing site-specific genome engineering technology for stacking multiple transgenes and recycling selectable marker genes. An 8.3 million rupees grant has been provided by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan to support this activity. In addition to site-specific genome engineering, my Lab also interests in Plant Phenomics to bridge the genotype-phenotype gap for more efficient gene mapping. A 40 million rupees grant from ICT R&D Fund is currently in process.
