Dr. Durr e Nayab is an academic and researcher specializing in botany, with a focus on industrial biotechnology, mycology, enzymology, green nanotechnology, and post-harvest management of fruits and vegetables. She has been serving as a Lecturer in Botany at the University of Gujrat since April 13, 2015. Prior to this, she worked as a Research Associate at the Biotechnology Centre of Government College University Faisalabad on an HEC-sponsored project related to lipase production by fungi. Her research interests include the biological potential of fungi, fermentation process optimization, and the application of nanotechnology in agriculture. She has conducted studies on silver nanoparticles for post-harvest management of bananas and worked on the production of glucoamylase and lipases from native fungal strains. Dr. Durr e Nayab has participated in various national and international conferences and workshops, earning multiple certifications. She has also been involved in organizing academic events and has received merit-based awards. Her scholarly contributions include research articles published in peer-reviewed journals and co-authored book chapters covering agriculture, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. Beyond research, she is actively engaged in academic governance, serving on committees such as the Quality Enhancement Cell, Admission Committee and Examination Committee at the University of Gujrat. She also coordinates departmental timetables and workload distribution. Dr. Durr e Nayab’s work contributes to advancements in biotechnology, agriculture, and environmental sustainability, with a focus on practical applications and scientific development.

  • My research focuses on industrial biotechnology, mycology, enzymology, and green nanotechnology, with an emphasis on optimizing biological processes for sustainable agricultural applications. Specifically, I am interested in post-harvest management strategies using nanotechnology, enzyme production from fungal sources, and the application of microbial biotechnology in improving agricultural productivity. My work aims to bridge fundamental research with practical applications, particularly in developing eco-friendly solutions for food preservation, biocatalysis, and environmental sustainability.
