Male, born on April 8, 1990, in KPK, Pakistan. I hold a Ph.D. from the School of medicine Zhejiang University Hangzhou, China. My research was based on detection of antibiotic resistance genes in animals and environmental samples and track their dissemination in human pathogenic bacteria. Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow at the School of Biomedical Engineering, Shenzhen University School of Medicine, under the mentorship of Barry Marshall. My research focuses on determining the prevalence of H. pylori infections, antibiotic resistance and associated risk factors in Chinese populations, aiming to reduce the incidence of gastric cancer by improving H. pylori eradication rates.

1. Determining the prevalence of H. pylori infection in Chinese population

2. Determining the rate of antibiotic resistance in Chinese population

3. Determining the associated risk factors with H. pylori infection
