Biography
Dr. Muhammad Baber has successfully completed his Ph.D. in Biotechnology from National Institute of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan. He is engaged in to identify and characterize QTLs particularly for a Biotic Stresses, e.g. Salinity, Drought, Heat and Water Stress. Utilizing molecular markers for assisting breeding and mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) for important traits and using proper statistical analysis tools such as QTLs map maker and QTL cartographer to associate markers linked to candidate genes.
