Ms. Rawaba Arif
Lecturer
Introduction
Ms. Rawaba Arif did her MPhil in Biochemistry from University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Specialization of Ms. Rawaba is Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics with research emphasis on molecular identification of species, molecular phylogenetics, comparative modeling and molecular docking. She has a strong biochemistry background with extensive research experience in biochemistry, biotechnology, microbiology and bioinformatics. She has been working on drug discovery using both traditional and in silico approaches. Ms. Rawaba has contributed many publications to the journals of international repute. She has attended many national and international conferences and symposia, and presented papers. She has visited South Korea (funded by KSELS) to present her research work in “The 44th Congress of KSELS and 9th International Symposium”. She has also delivered hands-on trainings in workshops in the areas of Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics. Currently, she is working as a Lecturer of Biochemistry in University of Jhang (UOJ).
