I have excellent expertise in planning, executing, and interpreting laboratory experiments related to transgenic crops, development, Tissue Culture and Resistance development in agricultural crops. I have the honor to be part of the first locally developed triple gene cotton under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Idrees Ahmad Nasir.
