PhD Thesis Defense Announcement
Mr. Hayat Bilal, a PhD candidate in
Biotechnology, has successfully defended his doctoral thesis titled "Protective
Effects of Helicteres Isora on Alleviation of Toxicological Parameters
Associated with Metabolic Disorders and Oxidative Stress in a Diabetic Animal
Model." The open defense was held today in the seminar room of
the Department of Biotechnology.
His research, which resulted in the
publication of three articles in well-reputed, high-impact journals, was
supervised by Dr. Mubarak Ali Khan (Biotechnology, Abdul Wali
Khan University Mardan) and co-supervised by Dr. Syed Wadood Ali Shah (University
of Malakand). The thesis was rigorously evaluated by international experts from
the United Kingdom and China.
During the defense, Prof.
Dr. Syed Jamal and Prof. Dr. Iqbal Munir, serving as local
examiners, conducted the viva voce examination. The event was attended by
faculty members and research students from various departments, who actively
participated in the discussion by posing thought-provoking questions.
Dr. Mubarak Ali Khan extended his
gratitude to all attendees and congratulated Mr. Hayat Bilal on successfully
defending his thesis and passing the final viva examination.
This achievement, along with the
impactful research contributions reflected in his publications, marks a
significant milestone in Mr. Bilal's academic career. We wish him continued
success in his future endeavors.
