Mr. Ajmal Khan | Biology | Young Scientist Award 

PhD Student at KU Leuven | Belgium 

Mr. Ajmal Khan is a motivated life sciences researcher holding a doctoral degree in biology with a specialization in pharmacology and preclinical drug discovery. His research centers on the pharmacological evaluation of plant-derived materials, including the development and application of in vitro and in vivo bioassays to screen antimicrobial, antiparasitic, and anticancer activities. He has strong expertise in phytochemical extraction and characterization, chromatographic and spectrometric techniques, microbial and cell culture methods, and animal studies, and he routinely integrates analytical chemistry and biological assays to advance natural product–based lead discovery. In addition to laboratory research, he has experience supervising undergraduate and graduate research projects and teaching practical courses in genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. His background spans parasitology, microbiology, immunology, molecular biology, and biochemistry, and he is comfortable with data analysis and scientific communication. He is active in international research communities and contributes through publications and conference presentations focused on natural products, antimicrobial discovery, and translational pharmacology. Bibliometrics: 40 citations by 39 documents; 7 documents; h-index 3.
