Brief Statement of research work
My research focuses on Genetics, Molecular Biology, Human Genetics, Fisheries, Toxicology, Aquatic Ecology, Environmental Pollution, Phytoremediation, Nanotoxicology, Nutrition, and Epidemiology. Dr. Farhat Jabeen's research focuses on the toxic effects of nanoparticles and microplastics across various animal models. The toxicity studies aim to develop data that can be used to protect public health from the adverse effects of environmental exposures to toxic agents.The study on toxicology is also important for drug discovery and development. The ultimate goal of her research is to translate the animal responses into an understanding of the risk for human subjects. Dr. Jabeen's research also focuses on the use of herbs and medicinal plants to mitigate toxicity of chemicals/ nanoparticles. Dr. Jabeen is pioneer in research using herbs to reduce nanoparticle toxicity in fishes. The importance of research is evident through its publication in renowned journals. Recently Dr. Jabeen has been working on DNA barcoding in freshwater fishes of Pakistan. DNA barcoding relies on sequence variation within a short and standardized region of the genome, designated as a barcode, to provide accurate species identification. This approach is based on the analysis of the variability within a standard DNA barcode region, which is useful to establish taxonomic relationships. The DNA barcoding allows biologists in the fields of evolution, ecology, and zoology to categorize unidentified specimens efficiently and reliably as either known novel based on the information of only one a few gene regions.

In recent days, fast progresses in nanotechnology have resulted in manufacturing of engineered nanoparticles. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the most commonly used materials and is among the top five nanoparticles. It is being used in nano-form in various industrial fields such as paints, pigments, dyes, alloys, rubber, ceramics, chemical fibres, sunscreens and other cosmetics, tooth pastes, electronics, pharmaceutical preparations, industrial photo-catalytic processes, personal care products, food idative properties.

Waterborne Copper Nanoparticles and Copper Sulphate bulk salt induced toxic effects in Oreochromis mossambicu
|
20-3893/NRPU/R&D/HEC/14/913 |
Some nanoparticles such as copper is harmful to aquatic life, a small fraction of its nanoparticles can dissolve in water and produce toxic impacts on fish and other aquatic life. Nano sized copper particles are extensively used as a bactericide, additives in inks, lubricants, metallic coatings of circuits and batteries, for filtration of air and liquid. Their long-term biological concerns on aquatic species are still unclear so it is essential to assess the toxicity of Cu nanoparticles and Cu salt in aquatic life.
