Biography
Dr. Irfan Pervaiz has been working at The Pharmacy Department, University of Chenab for past 4 years. During this period, he has taught various Pharmaceutical Chemistry courses including Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Analysis, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. Irfan Pervaiz attended and graduated cum laude from College of Pharmacy, University of Punjab, Lahore as a Doctor of Pharmacy. Afterwards, he was accepted into MPhil Pharmaceutical Chemistry program at Faculty of Pharmacy & Alternative Medicine, Islamia University of Bahawalpur. He completed his PhD in the same discipline from the same department. In his thesis, Pervaiz investigated two medicinal plants namely, Calligonum polygonoides and Crateva adansonii for hitherto unexplored medicinal activities. Twenty Compounds were isolated and characterized from both plants. These molecules were also repositioned to exhibit high activity against urease, carbonic anhydrase, xanthine oxidase, α-glucosidase and Lipoxygenase.
