Introduction:

Dr Mahmood Ahmed is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Division of Science and Technology, University of Education, College Road, Lahore-Pakistan. He received his M.Sc. (January, 2003), M.Phil. (July, 2013) and PhD (March, 2018) degrees in Chemistry from Institute of Chemistry, University of the Punjab, Lahore-Pakistan. He has more than 21 years of professional, research and teaching experience. His expertise are in analytical, pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry. In pharmaceutical industry (Renacon Pharma Ltd.), where he spent more than 18 years and did quality by design (QbD) based projects for manufacturing of haemodialysis concentrates in Pakistan & Malaysia. His research interest involve synthesis of novel drug analogs and tested them for various pharmacological properties against different phenotypes of various disease models like antibacterial, antifungal, FIC index calculations, anti-inflammatory, analgesic activities, enzymatic assay (cyclooxygenase, urease, carbonic anhydrase). Also, his core analytical chemistry interest is development, optimization and validation of HPLC methods for stability indicating assays for the analysis of drugs in real samples of different dosage forms, urine and plasma samples as per international regulatory guidelines including ICH, FDA, EMA & USP. He is also working on extraction of trace, essential, toxic, heavy metals in water, soil and food items by different techniques such as conventional acid digestion, ultrasound and microwave assisted extraction to characterize human health toxicity. His interests focus on analytical data treatment, including outlier identification in univariate and multivariate datasets, significance testing, signals/noise, and univariate and multivariate calibration/validation. He has “hands-on experience” of various analytical instruments including Atomic absorption spectrometer (FAAS, ET-AAS, HG-AAS), UV-VIS spectrophotometer, Liquid & gas chromatography (HPLC & UHPLC-PDA, UFLC-UV-VIS, LC-MS/MS, GC-MS/MS), Emission spectrophotometer (ICP-OES, flame photometer), FTIR, TOC analyzer, Dissolution & Disintegration apparatus, Refractometer, Polarimeter, Liquid & air particle counter, Karl Fischer, Kjeldahl apparatus. Teaching analytical, pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry including laboratory practical at BS/MSc. level and supervising the students at MS and PhD level in the same field. He has published 126 research/review articles as principle and co-author in national and international peer reviewed journals, resulting in 2434 citations, impact factor = 289.7, h-index = 27 and i10-index = 60. He is editor/advisor of 4 International Journals. He has reviewed 604 research/review articles for 92 international journals and handled 72 articles as an editor. 16 MS and 1 PhD students have been supervised/co-supervised, and/or pursuing their degree in the field of analytical, pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry so far. Moreover, 20 of his abstracts published in proceedings of national and international conferences. He is ranked among the 2 % of scientists globally by Stanford, USA/Elsevier.
