Muhammad Furqan Ashraf


Job description

I am a researcher with a background in Plant Sciences, Crop Physiology, and Plant Biotechnology. My research focuses on how plants adapt against harsh conditions and exploring the molecular mechanisms by genetic engineering novel genes. Currently, working on the functional characterization of genetic factors that improve enzyme production in heterologous and homologous systems. In the future, plants will work as cell factories for enzyme production that can hydrolyze carbon resources to produce beneficial bioproducts, including bioenergy, and to promote sustainability and environmental protection.

Affiliated with UiT-ARC-Arctic Center for Sustainable Energy
