Biography
Dr. Mian Muhammad Khubaib Sattar Assistant Professor & Academic Coordinator, Faculty of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Bahawalpur, Pakistan Dr Khubaib Sattar obtained his PhD in Veterinary Microbiology from the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore (UVAS), Pakistan, where his research focused on the molecular characterization and functional analysis of key toxin genes in pathogenic bacteria. With over a decade of experience in veterinary research and academia, he is currently serving as Assistant Professor and Academic Coordinator at the Faculty of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Islamia University Bahawalpur. His research interests span antimicrobial resistance mechanisms in poultry and livestock, in-silico structural biology of bacterial toxins (e.g., Clostridium perfringens alpha toxin) and AI-based disease-forecasting tools for poultry health management. Dr Sattar has made significant contributions in designing biosensor platforms for environmental monitoring of heavy metals, pesticides and pathogens in water and soil from the South Punjab region. He is also actively engaged in preparation of implementation-research proposals addressing infectious diseases of poverty in the context of South Punjab. In his role as Academic Coordinator, he supports thesis and synopsis development, oversees research-capacity building and guides students through institutional guidelines (IUB Theses/Synopses Guidelines 2023). Outside the lab, he is exploring career diversification into Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to extend his professional portfolio. Dr Sattar is committed to fostering translational research, strengthening veterinary vaccinology networks, and driving innovation for animal and public health in low-resource settings. He holds a strong belief in multidisciplinary collaboration across microbiology, bioinformatics, veterinary medicine and data-science to deliver impactful solutions.
