He contributed to the development of the Chemical Sciences at the Department of Chemistry, Quaid-I-Azam University, and transformed the landscape of higher education. He has published more then 620 research publications in renowned journals, 7 international patents, 11 book chapters, and two books. He has supervised more than 72 masters and 28 Ph.D. students. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry FRSC (UK), a Fellow of the Chemical Society of Pakistan, a Fellow Pakistan Academy of Sciences, and a Professor at QAU, Islamabad. He has been ranked among the word top 2% scientists by Stanford University in 200 by Standford University, and in 22 by 2022 Stanford University & Elsevier.

Education
He is a distinguished scholar in the field of Organic Chemistry, with a career marked by academic excellence and significant research contributions. Attending Quaid-I-Azam University, Islamabad, Dr. Batti graduated with a master's degree (M.Sc.) in Organic Chemistry in 1986. During his master he was working on the chemical properties of the plant Ipomoea carnea, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Mrs. Naeema Khan. Dr. Bhatti continued his education from the same university and completed his M.Phil. in Organic Chemistry in 1988. His thesis developed a synthetic approach towards the Isochroman system, contributing to the study of fungal metabolites. Prof. Dr. Bhatti received his Ph.D. degree from the Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, in Organic Chemistry in 1994. His doctoral thesis focused on synthesizing natural compounds like Isocoumarins, supervised by Prof. Dr. Nasim H. Rama. His research, conducted from 1987 to 1994, was part of the NSRD B+ and PSF Projects.

During 1994-1995, he Undertook research at his alma mater, focusing on the total synthesis of Feralolide. He was then offered Alexander von Humboldt Post-Doctoral Fellowships during 2001 and 2020. Dr. Bhatti conducted post-doctoral research in Germany, at the Institute für Organische Chemie of Universität Hannover, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Markus Kalesse.

Research Work
Prof. Dr. Aaamer Saeed Bhatti's research spans various aspects of synthetic bioorganic and medicinal chemistry, with a focus on natural products and heterocyclic chemistry. Their work encompasses stereoselective and total synthesis of bioactive natural products, including antitumor polyketides such as Callystatin and Ratjadone, as well as investigations into isocoumarins, dihydroisocoumarins, and their nitrogen and sulfur analogues. Additionally, they have contributed to the synthesis, biological evaluation, heterocyclization, QSAR studies, and computational investigations of acyl thioureas. Their research extends to the design, synthesis, and bioevaluation of novel nitrogen-sulfur heterocycles and bisheterocycles using hybrid pharmacophore approaches. They have also explored the development of organic electronic materials such as carbazole, fluorene, and perylene-based materials for OLEDs, alongside studies on the synthesis and characterization of fluorescent dyes including Rylene and Rylene azo-hybrid, porphyrin, xanthene, anthocyanin, and triarylmethane derivatives. Moreover, they have contributed to the advancement of green chemistry through methodologies such as one-pot multi-component reactions, microwave-assisted synthesis, aqueous synthesis, and mechanochemical synthesis. Notably, their research has led to the discovery of several small and hybrid molecules with potent enzyme inhibitory properties, as well as the development of novel drugs targeting multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens, with a focus on investigating structure-transport relationships. Furthermore, their work extends to the development of in vivo cancer probes for bioimaging, ion sensors, materials with aggregate-induced emission properties, and materials for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
