Prof. Dr. Aqif Anwar
Professor / Head of Department, IRCBM
Area of Interest: Nanotechnology, Biomaterials (aqifanwar@cuilahore.edu.pk)
Tel # (Off): 111-001-007   (829)

Dr. Aqif’s research interests and activities are highly multidisciplinary. His basic interest is in determining structure-property-application relationships of metal and ceramics predominantly from a biological performance standpoint. This is reflected in his research in the following areas;

  • Nanotechnology: Rapid, low-cost and large scale synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles in order to transfer the performance of these materials in the lab to actual applications and products. These not only include nanobioceramics but also dielectrics, semiconductors and structural ceramics etc.
  • Biomedical Materials: Improvement in biological performance of materials by manipulation during synthesis methods (wet-chemical synthesis), animal and biological testing. Effect of substitution of biologically beneficial ions into calcium phosphates. Tailoring synthesis parameters to result in
    • high strength porous and dense nanostructured ceramics
    • Homogenous, crack free and strong coatings
    • Polymers with high strength and bioactivity
    • FLow Synthesis of Nanoparticles & their Utilization in Development of Fibrous Electrospun Composites

He also has a keen interest in commercialization of biomedical materials in Pakistan. Advanced biomaterials are not readily available in Pakistan. Where they are, they are often imported and sold at exuberant prices far beyond the reach of a common man. Pakistan has a vibrant metal industry when it comes to surgical goods and implants. However this is unchartered territory and requires a lot of looking into. Efforts are underway to develop databases of suppliers, products, prices, quantity available, quality etc. The aims are to 1) identify Pakistan specific problems which require research/improvement (regarding biomaterials) and 2) laying the foundation for launch of IRCBM products. In his spare time, Dr. Aqif is an avid traveller and enjoys debating and compeering at all levels.
