Dr. Rabia holds a Doctorate
degree in Plant Cell Imaging and Ultrastructure Research from the University of
Vienna, Austria (2015). Dr. Rabia is an appointee at the Department of Botany, University
of Education as Assistant Professor since Oct, 2018. Presently she is teaching Plant Anatomy, Cell Biology, Bacteriology and Virology, Microbiology and their Allied Laboratory
Techniques.
Her area of
specialization is Plant Anatomy, Environmental Biology, Techniques in microscopy
that includes the examination of living as well as fixed cells or tissues to study
their various physiological and morphological traits under changing/stressed environment. She has her hands-on training in i) advanced video, light and electron microscopy combined with ii) atomic element analysis, as well as
different methods of iii) documentation
of various biological processes by photography and scientific videography.
Teaching
Expertise:
Dr. Rabia participated
in collaborative teaching while in the University of Vienna (2009-2014) where she held
theory and practical classes about Light and Electron Microscopy and Cell
Physiology. She also participated with her expertise in the special lecture on
Heavy metal stress in plant cells and about glandular cells of carnivorous
plants. In Pakistan she has a good experience of teaching and research in the
field of Anatomy and Morphology, Cell Biology at the University of the Punjab for
more than two years (2015-2018).
