Dr Muhammad Farhan Ul Haque is a molecular microbiologist and microbial genomicist with almost eleven years of teaching and research experience in Europe, UK and USA. His research interests involve microbial genetics, molecular microbial ecology, environmental biotechnology, microbial genomics and metagenomics. He has pioneered several molecular tools involving genetic engineering and next generation genomic techniques applicable to study the microbiology of various systems (animals, plants, soil and water). During his research career, he has published his research in high impact journals (current IF ~ 185) and therefore he has been awarded with several European and American awards and fellowships. Currently, he is working as an Assistant Professor at the School of Biological Sciences, University of the Punjab Lahore since September 2019.
