Our inaugural forum

"The most amazing Biology Lab in the country"

Watch a short documentary on the inaugural NeoBiology Forum held in 2022 that brought together key stakeholders and collaborators of the Lab. Conversations surrounded the ‘neobiological revolution’ followed by a deep-tour of ten exhibits representing our latest works. The event ended with a dinner to celebrate recent achievements, including nine research posters at the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Cancer Research.

It's not only the work that you are doing, I am more amazed at the talent and team that you have assembled.

I think Peshawar as a city and KP as a province is very proud of a facility like this to give our youngsters an opportunity to explore alternative fields other than the conventional one or two fields that they have always been exposed to.
Shafique Ur Rehman
Chief Executive Officer, Rehman Medical InstitutePartner Institution
Being amongst the first people to join PML it was up to us to set the culture for future Labbers. We had to define our values and who we are. I learned people skills, how to lead and multitask, how to be a team player and how to collaborate.

Its only been a few years and we are already seeing all of this exciting progress in the Lab which gives us so much hope. Imagine what is achievable in another 5 or 10 years.
Amjad Arbab
Senior Advisor, World BankFriend of the Lab
The Summer Elective program has helped me grow so much not only on the educational and research front and on a personal level as well. It really changed my perspective and gave me a new way to look at and analyze things. I realised there is a whole world outside of medicine that can be explored.
Zara Khan
2nd year MBBS, Khyber Girls Medical College Elective Student 2024
There was creative and intellectual freedom at PML that enabled you to dive deep into different areas in your field. I got to work on multiple projects, from genomics and metagenomics to gene expression analysis and single cell sequencing. And it was due to these skills, I was able to find opportunities to be part of multiple collaborations here in Germany.
Abdus Salam

Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, GermanyLab Alumnus 2022
I found the best group of friends here, the kind who are supportive and made me want to become the best version of myself. I’ve learnt self-discipline and how to commit myself to something. I’ve realized there’s so much I have to learn and there’s so much space for growth.
Safoora Zia
3rd year MBBS, Rehman Medical College Elective Student 2023
PML made me think through an interdisciplinary lens, as there were lectures on multiple topics and sprints on coding languages even.
Maliha Rashid
Undergraduate student at William’s College, USASummer Intern 2022
I think this elective programme was the most eye-opening experience of my life. I realised how there is so much left to be explored. It also made me realise some really important things about myself. How a little bit of confidence, discipline and good mentorship can take you places.
Maryam Fayyaz
3rd year MBBS, Khyber Medical College Elective Student 2023
I am thoroughly impressed by the work that is being done by these young people here and I think there are alot of opportunities for us to learn together and collaborate.
Dr. Safee Ullah Chaudhary
Associate Professor. Department of Life Sciences, LUMSCollaborator
I believe that government and private sectors should make more resources available for supporting scientific research like this. This is exactly how nations progress.
Sher Ali Arbab
Member National Assembly, NA30Distinguished Guest
The skills that I learned in the Lab greatly helped me in my MPhil. The Lab teaches you the importance of teamwork, how to handle pressure and multitask effectively, these are all the qualities needed to shape a professional.
Atiqa Tariq
MPhil Student, Quaid e Azam UniversityLab Alumnus 2021
Kudos to all of you. I hope this pays dividends and I hope in the end, patients and especially cancer patients, benefit from your research.
Dr. Imran Mohib Khan
Consultant ENT, Northwest General HospitalFriend of the lab
I think 3 years is a very short amount of time to put something on the map but you have successfully done that. I hope in the next 5, 7, 10 years this place will hopefully be the most amazing biology lab in the whole country.
Dr. Athar Osama
Managing partner, Inno Ventures GlobalDistinguished Guest
I learned how to perform quality research at the Lab, as it was my first time formulating a questionnaire and learning about multiple databases. All this greatly aided me in my residency later on.
Dr. Umair Wali, Resident (Orthodontist)
Altamash Institute of Dental MedicineLab Alumnus 2020
I learned how to think outside of the box. Dr. Faisal taught me how to ask the most important questions and back up my research. Academic integrity was learned at PML.
Khired Sajid
Masters Student at Başkent University, TurkeyResearch Intern 2022
Meeting mentors and working under the supervision of labbers and Dr. Faisal was one of the biggest blessings I had this year. It inspired me to not be afraid of making new choices and taking the steps towards my dreams. How there's no such thing as "impossible" and what a healthy work environment looks like and how much of a difference science can make to a country.
Hadyqa Qasim
2nd year MBBS, Khyber Medical CollegeElective Student 2023
I think we all are witnessing history in making because this is a seed that has been sown and the fruits will soon be visible to everybody.
Dr. Shahzada Bakhtyar Zahid
Consultant Paediatrics, Professor and Dean,
Rehman Medical InstituteDistinguished Guest
The Lab is very well equipped and all the projects are very interesting. I am really inspired by all the genomics research.
Aiman Kamal, Lecturer (Chemistry)
Pak-Turk Maarif International School and CollegesVisitor
I was so focused on clinical research, that the possibility of handling big data and delving deep into a multi-disciplinary approach in solving scientific questions could never have crossed my mind had it not been for PML. Like Dr. Faisal once said in a meet-the-PI-session, ‘It’s cool, like a mini-PhD, squeezed into 8 weeks’.
Binyameen Raza Qureshi
4th year MBBS, Khyber Medical CollegeElective Student 2024
The overall experience was fun, out-of-the-box and out of the comfort zone, and it was really inspiring to see so many people working with passion.
Talha Mufeed
5th year MBBS, Saidu Medical CollegeElective Student 2024
I consider this Summer Electives Program as one of the best training experiences of mine and I really loved some of the additions to the program such as meeting the experts and journal club sessions. I can't express how glad I'm carrying all the memories, skills, and knowledge from this program.
