Dr. Muther Mansoor Qaisrani
Assistant Professor
Ph.D, NIBGE (Quaid I Azam University)
- Muther Mansoor Qaisrani received his Ph.D degree in Biotechnology from National Institute for Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering (NIBGE), Quaid-I-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan. He earned his B. Sc. (Hons) and M. Sc. (Hons.) degrees from University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. He has made contribution towards life science through research publications and production of products like Bio-fertilizers and micronutrients for crop improvement.
- Beyond the laboratory and lecture hall, I enjoy unwinding with a good book and staying active through both indoor and outdoor games. My primary passion, however, lies in mentoring the next generation of Pakistani scientists. I am deeply committed to guiding my students to apply their academic knowledge in practical, innovative ways, empowering them to play a pivotal role in the development and progress of Pakistan.
