Dr. Maqsood Ahmed (Principal Investigator)
Dr. Maqsood Ahmed got his PhD entitled “Ultra high resolution crystallography of small molecules and proteins” from Universite de Lorraine, Nancy, France in 2012. He served in GC University Lahore for one year before joining IUB in September, 2013. CV
Dr. Sajida Noureen (Co-Principal Investigator)

Dr. Sajida Noureen became Lecturer in Chemistry in 2005 at University of Sargodha and then moved to IUB in 2007. She was selected for PhD studies under the Faculty Development Program of the IUB. She earned her PhD from Universite de Lorraine, Nancy, France in 2012. Her worked is focused on the synthesis and characterization of Dye-sensitized solar cells.
Single Crystal X-rays Diffractometer
We have a Bruker D8 Venture dual source (microfocus Cu, Mo) with high efficiency PHOTON II detector for chemical and biological crystallography. The instrument is attached with an Oxford Cobra device which uses dry air directly taken from air to generate a temperature range of 80-400 K with excellent stability.
