Dr. Sidra Abbas

Assistant Professor

Introduction

I got my early education from Pakistan International School Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I did Doctor of Philosophy in Zoology from Department of Zoology, Wildlife and Fisheries, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. I have expertise in the areas of Fisheries, Aquatic Toxicology, Limnology, Fish Ecology and Genotoxicity. My aim is to inculcate basic knowledge among the students related to Zoology and its allied and advanced fields. Besides this, I want to engage students in the quality research work so that they can contribute towards scientific development of the Nation. Along with this, my aim is to impart highest ethical values among the students so that they become best human beings and could contribute towards the development of Pakistan in an amiable way.
