Final - Un eidted
Profile: Department of Genetics
By: Fatima Mustafa
Initially Genetics was
a branch of Institute of Chemistry in University of Sindh .
On the advice of the then Vice Chancellor Mazhar-ul-Haq Siddiqui, institute of Genetics and biotechnology was created in
2004. Department of biotechnology started as a centre in January 2002 and was
upgraded into institute in April 2003 and was approved by (HEC) in September
2003. Now both the departments are working under Institute of Biotechnology
and Genetic Engineering.
Prof. Dr.
Muhammad Umar Dahot is the founder of the Institute of Biotechnology
and Genetic Engineering. When department was started only 80 students took
admission in BS Genetic.
Research work is the main focus of this institute; research is the reason for
the collaboration and linkage of Institute
of Biotecnology and
Genetic Engineering with highly reputed national and international laboratories
and institutes. Newly established Institute is providing facilities in the area
of Plant Biotechnology, Industrial Biotechnology, Healthcare and Environment
Biotechnology.
14 research
projects are completed successfully till today and two more are in progress.
All the projects are sponsored by national and international funding agencies.
In 2004 first scientific journal was published
and in 2015, and in all 12 issues were published. More than 200 research
articles have been published in national and international journals.
Department is trying to equip it library with
latest books. As many as 1200 books on the subject are available in seminar
library.
A visit to the department revealed that nothing has
changed from classrooms to laboratory equipments are same when the department
was established. Students are facing many problems due to lack of facilities.
Instruments in laboratory are not working properly and chemicals for experiment
are not available, they complained. Now the university administration is
supplying gas to the department. It is pretty much beneficial for students
because all the laboratory instruments work on fire, before this, electrical
heaters were used.
More than 100
students take admission in each batch every year in the modern field of
genetics and biotechnology. Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering is a field in
which invention of new technologies like finger printing, DNA reports and
mostly research work related to life and technology take place.
Prof. Dr. Muhammad
Umar Dahot the first director of department was awarded with the HSC best
teacher award in 2007, Ain Shams
University Egypt
gave him gold medal for his efforts. Now Syed Habib Naqvi is the director. From
2003 to 2015 this institute awarded more than 8 Ph.D degrees and 3 M.Phil
degrees. Four teachers are studying in foreign countries while some of them are
doing Ph.D from China
and Netherlands.

INSTITUTE OF
BIOTECHNOLOGY AND GENETIC ENGINEERING
Department PROFILE
BY
FATIMA MUSTAFA
The Centre of Biotechnology was established in January
2002 and was upgrade into Institute in
April 2003. Prof Mohammad Dahot is the founder of Institute of
Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering.
In September 2003, it was approved by HEC and then in 2004 Department of
Genetics also introduced by the advice of Vice Chancellor Mazhar - ul- Haq
Siddiqui.
When it was started only 80 students took admission in BS
Genetics. Both department before its
foundation was working as branch of Chemistry Department. The newly established institute in near future provide research Biotechnology, Healthcare,
Environment Biotechnology and Genetics. When it was started only Ms
Biotechnology was introduced then in 2004 BS Genetics take place and then in
2013 Bs Biotechnology also Introduced.
The institute has
established linkage and collaboration
with highly reputed research
laboratories and Institutes e.g Institute of Biochemistry and Bio Physics, University Of Tehran, East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai
China, Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry , and Department
of Chemical Engineering, Research
Institute Of University of Karachi etc to overcome its resources. So far,
The Department has organized five Symposia on Biotechnology from 2003 to
2009, and two national training
workshops on Biotechnological techniques in 2005 to 2006 and third
workshop was arranged in Shah Abdul Latif University Khairpur in 2007.
The main goal of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering are
searching and research. The Scientific Journal started publishing from
2004 till today. In 2015,
12 issues have been published. 14
research projects have been successfully completed and the work on two research
projects is in progress which were sponsored by National and International
funding agencies such as University of Sindh,
Pakistan Science Foundation (PSF), University of Grants Commission
(UGC), Higher Education Commission(HEC). So far,
more than 200 research articles
have been published in national and international scientific journals. Many
awards awarded to great teachers like
HEC gave best teacher award to Prof Mohammad Dahot in 2007. Prof Mohammad Dahot
signed AMOU from foreign Universities like Ain Shams University Egypt ,
Research University of Tehran, Mascow
University, East University China and
Shahed Karwan University. Ain Shams University
also gave Gold medal to Dr Mohammad Dahot for his department.
The Institute is try to equip with latest books. At present more than 1200 books are available
in seminar library. Due to shortest of
funds not more facilities are provided to department and only five local
journals are available that are Journal of Chemical society, Pakistan Journal of biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Pakistan journal of
pharmacology, Scientific Shah Abdul Latif University (Khairpur and
Science Research journal).
From 2003 to 2015 more than 8 P. HD degrees, 3 M. Phill. Degree have given . Four teachers of the faculty are gone for
their higher studies out of country.
From them one teacher Dr Sataar Qureshi comeback to University and
recently joined the faculty. Remaining
teachers are doing PhD from China and Netherland they will comeback within 2
years. When the department was
established first Director of department
was Prof Mohammad Dahot till 2010 and
now the director of department is Syed Habib Naqvi. He done his
Post Doctrate from China .
If we look after department today and old there is no change
in facilities because funds are not utilized properly to department and
classrooms need to improve and laboratory instruments in the laboratory are old
since it was founded till today there is no change in department management. Students are facing many problems for this
that there is no facilities in department
laboratory and some instruments
are not working and chemicals for experiments are also not available in the
laboratory. If they are asking to department they didn't give proper response
and avoiding the students.
Nowadays
administration have initiated Gas supply facilities to department, its very
much beneficial for students because all the instruments in laboratory work on
fire before this facilities students
work on elecrtical heaters. Department is expanding fast with speed and
students are taking more interest in this modern field. There should be well arranged classrooms for
students and seats for the students . In
one batch more than 100 students are taking admission in this department of
Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering every year. . Students face many problems like they want
that there all classes occur in their department
like minors subjects they go to attain clases in physiology and zoology
department they are so far their department .
Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering is that field in which
most research work in the world and invent new technologies like finger
print, DNA report etc. If University provide proper funds to
department then department go to proper planning and students also work with
their hardwork.
Plz revisit it. there are grammatical, spelling, language and upper lower mistakes (noun and proper noun). Some of them have been underlined or corrected.
Proper paragraphing is must.
