Dr. Erum Dilshad

Associate Professor
PROFILE SUMMARY

Her research is focused on Nanobiotechnology, producing metallic nanoparticles by chemical and biological methods involving a green chemistry approach. She evaluates these metallic nanoparticles for their anticancer properties against cancer cell lines, including breast and liver cancer. Research also involves producing both medicinal and edible crops transgenics to enhance secondary metabolites and tolerance against biotic and abiotic stress along with their phytochemical analysis. Furthermore, her research is focused on computer-aided drug designing and screening biomolecules for their activities and effectiveness against various ailments, including cancer. She has been enlisted in AD World Scientist Ranking and as a Productive Scientist of Pakistan in 2016 and 2017, under age 40 by the Pakistan Council for Science and Technology Pakistan (PCST). To date, she has a significant number of ISI-indexed publications, and the total impact factor is 100. She has authored 10 book chapters with internationally recognized publishers and a complete book with Bentham Publishers.
