Message From Director
Dr. Muhammad Ismail
Welcome to the Institute of Biomedical and Genetic Engineering (IBGE), Islamabad. Being a biomedical institute we seek to play our role to explore the causes, diagnostic marker and therapeutic agents for different diseases. Being head of the institute it is my endeavor to utilize my experience advantageously and ensure to build the characters, ethics and morality of our researchers and students, and to enhance their motivation. IBGE Islamabad has embarked upon various fields of Human genetics and Population Genetics. We believe that scientific networking is the key to excel in the field of research; therefore, we are always open to collaborate with national and international research institutes and universities in the areas of mutual interest. This is reflected through our contribution to the human genome diversity program and providing the facility for the MPhil and PhD students of various national universities to conduct their thesis research at the IBGE.
