Biography

Dr. Faiz-ul Hassan, received his BSc. (Hons) Animal Husbandry in 2001 from University of Agriculture, Faisalabad with distinction (Gold Medal). After that he secured his MSc (Hons) in 2004 and PhD degree in 2012 in the field of Animal Breeding and Genetics from same university. Meanwhile, He joined the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad as Lecturer in July, 2004. Recently, Dr Hassan has completed two-year postdoctrate (2018-2020) in field of Nutri-genomics” under ‘Talented Young Scientist’ fellowship of the Ministry of Science and Technology, China. Dr. Hassan recently (December, 2022) joined as a Professor in Department of Breeding and Genetics, Cholistan University of Veterinary and Animals Sciences, Bahawalpur. He has published more than 70 peer reviewed articles in well-known SCI international journals with a cumulative impact factor of >215. Dr Hassan has performed excellent research work on animal breeding, quantitative genetics and genome wide characterization of different gene families in farm animals. He has worked as a research scientist in two mega projects focusing on development of indigenous chicken breeds in Pakistan to improve performance of rural poultry and their genetic conservation. Moreover, Dr. Hassan has performed research on molecular nutrition of birds with a focus to understand the nutrigenomic effects of nutrients on different physiological networks and expression of major genes. He was also keenly involved in National Centre for Livestock Breeding, Genetics and Genomics (NCLBGG) sub-centre UAF for genome wide association studies for milk productions traits in Nili-Ravi buffaloes.
