From my passion redefined by Professor Dr Steve Gloyd and Professor Dr Ann Downer of the University of Washington; and, Professor Dr Javaid Iqbal, Professor Dr Asim Waris and Professor Dr Amer Sohail at NUST, I am teaching Applied Artificial Intelligence, concentrating supply chain, and disease surveillance intelligence for priority biological agents. As an Adjunct Faculty at the prestigious NUST, I translate a deep-seated passion for education into actionable learning, particularly in biosciences and biotechnology, and leading Master and PhD students Redefine Future for us. My expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning intersects with public health, empowering the next generation of health innovators and startups here at Science and Technology Park. My goal is to sharpen the functional capacity of the global laboratory network, contributing to a world better equipped against infectious diseases especially Pandemic Influenza Preparedness with my friends and colleagues at the World Health Organization.

Since May 2024, with transitioning roles and responsibilities and business development, I took charge of Development Data Technologies and with my team and implemented Pakistan Microbes Literacy Initiative. The team designed the Randomized Control Trial (RCT) with Dr Ed Higgins of MLI, New York, Professor Dr Aamer Ikram and Dr Nisar Ahmed Cheema. We completed phase 1 in close collaboration with State Minister, Excellency Dr Mukhtar Bharat and Dr Aslam Asad, EDO, Health, Sargodha. This initiative led partnering with Lady Health Workers (LHWS) in educating communities of Sargodha district of Punjab. Someone from Surveillance Sciences understands better that initiative is asking for “Community Actions” to make the district, province, country, region and the World a safer place to live. For Asian, American, European, African and Australian and more regions, the health security starts from community and labs in the Lower and Middle Income Countries (LMIC). And by reason of my vision, “we are localizing actions for global gains”.

With my team, I am pitching a number of opportunities with multilaterals, academia, industry, foreign embassies and development institutions. We are a 11 member team of technical and support staff operating from Science and Technology Park of National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) with five member Advisory Council.
