Dr. Qadri is a molecular virologist with interests in the pathogenesis of viral diseases, antiviral developments. Dr. Qadri is investigating the underlying molecular mechanism(s) that govern the onset of viral-induced diseases. The particular focus is on viral hepatitis (HBV & HCV), vector-borne viral diseases (Dengue), and MERS-CoV. Skills and Expertise DNA Electrophoresis Cell Culture PCR Cancer Biology Cloning Western Blot Analysis Gel Electrophoresis Gene Expression Immunofluorescence

Biography Mohammad Ishtiaq Qadri completed his Ph.D. from the Imperial College of Science and Technology in 1989 and later worked at the University of California San Francisco, CA, and University of Colorado HSC, Denver, CO USA for 20 years. He is currently involved in the study of liver adaptive responses, HCV-induced specific gene expression and regulation during insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, and carbon-based nano-sensor development. He is the recipient of over 28 international R & D grants funded from NIH USA, American Liver Foundation, Colorado League of Cancer, US-State Dept, Bio-Safety Engagement Program of US, Pasteur Institute of France, Higher Education Commission, Ministry of Science and Technology Science Foundation of Pakistan. All these grants were funded to carry out work on Transposable Elements, Liver Gene Regulation, and Human Viruses such as HSV-1, HCMV, DEN, EBV, HEV, HBV, and HCV.

Research Interest Development of nano biosensors for biological interactions; Understanding the key signaling pathways of viral-induced HCC; Understanding the genetic control of HCC; Identification of novel Bio-markers for Fibrosis; Understanding the mechanism(s) of IFN resistance.→ Arsh Ishtiaq Qadri (talk) 14:36, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
