Muhammad Usman specialises in combatting antimicrobial resistance using nanomedicine
Muhammad Usman's research expertise is at the interface of pharmacy, chemistry, and material science. His skills are in drug delivery, nanomedicine, and pharmaceutical microbiology. He utilises aspects from nanotechnology to bring productive outcomes to life in the form of solutions to real-time pharmaceutical and biomedical problems. His research interests include biomedical applications of nanomaterials, nanotechnology-aided controlled, and target drug delivery and synthesis of nano-antibiotics to resolve multidrug resistance issues for pathological conditions like microbial infections.
Muhammad Usman completed his MPhil in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Doctor of Pharmacy from Pakistan in 2016 and 2014, respectively. Then, he joined the University of Central Punjab Lahore, Pakistan as a lecturer from Dec 2016 to Oct 2018. To broaden his teaching and research skills, he worked as a Lecturer for almost five years in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at Jouf University, Saudi Arabia. Currently, he is a PhD student in the Davis group at the AIBN, within the University of Queensland, investigating the role of gut bacteria in neurodegenerative diseases. He has published more than 30 research articles and reviews in peer-reviewed journals.
