Dr. Kanwal Rehman is working as an Associate Professor at the Department of Pharmacy in The Women University, Multan, Pakistan. Dr. Rehman received her PhD in Pharmacology from Zhejiang University, China. She nurtures a keen interest in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders and new therapeutic modalities for its treatment. Currently, she is focusing on the investigation of the role of pharmacogenomics based upon gene polymorphism on various molecular and metabolic pathways that are involved in mitogenic disorders and treatment strategies, like natural biogenic compounds against different risk factors of metabolic disorders, including pancreatitis, cardiometabolic disorders, and hormonal imbalance. Dr. Rehman has also been awarded the Research Productivity Award by the Pakistan Council for Science and Technology, Pakistan; the PAS Gold Medal from the Pakistan Academy of Sciences; and the A.R. Shakoori Gold Medal from the Zoological Society of Pakistan. Dr. Akash is currently working as an Associate Professor at the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Government College University Faisalabad, Pakistan. He got his PhD degree in Pharmaceutical Analysis from Zhejiang University, China. Currently, he is focusing on investigating the effect of endocrine disrupting chemicals on various molecular and metabolic pathways that are involved in metabolic disorders and their treatment strategies. His research work is cutting-edge and worthy of extension in developing countries, like Pakistan, where it can be most beneficial and cost-effective, especially for diabetic patients. Based on his significant scientific contributions in the field of Pharmaceutical Sciences, he has been awarded “Research Productivity Awards” from the Pakistan Council for Science and Technology, the PAS Gold Medal from the Pakistan Academy of Sciences, and the A.R. Shakoori Gold Medal from the Zoological Society of Pakistan.
