I am Dr. Amber Pakistani by origin, working as Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB), University of Gujrat (UOG) in TTS for more than seven years. I am currently working on RNAi targets discovery using Proteomics analysis (HEC (NRPU6506) Funded Project). Along with this I will integrate the transcriptomic data with Proteomics data for functional data analysis of RNAi targets. It will be followed by gene cloning experiments for insect resistant Crops. Before in my PhD I have done differential Proteomics analysis of tomato cultivars for biotic stress resistance. Along with this I have worked on tissue culture optimisations for tomato in-vitro Growth.
