As a highly motivated worker I can develop good working relationships and communicate efficiently with personnel at all levels. I have developed skills in evaluating and solving problems in order to make calculated decisions. I am results driven and geared to work as hard as required in order to realize my goals, especially in a science based environment. Basically, I am a zoologist with a working background in Limnology, aquatic toxicology and fish antioxidant enzymes. RESEARCH WORK:
Studies on acute and chronic responses of Channa marulius and Wallago attu to metals and their mixture. (Ph.D)
Studies on lethal and LC50 responses of Catla catla and Cirrhina mrigala against waterborne toxicity of zinc. (M.Phil)
Studies on limnological parameters of semi-intensive iron stressed fish culture ponds. (M.Sc)
RESEARCH PROJECT AS A PI:
Estimation of Acetylcholine esterase activity, lipid peroxidation and genotoxicity as a oxidative dynamics in Chinese carps exposed to selected Insecticides. (Approved and in progress)
HEC APPROVED SUPERVISOR:
HEC approved supervisor for MS/M. Phil and Ph.D. research.

Biography:
Dr. Moazama Batool joined the Department of Zoology, GCWUS as Assistant Professor in August, 2017. Her major responsibilities include teaching and research. She completed her MSc, M.Phil and Ph.D. in Zoology from University of Agriculture, Faisalabad-Pakistan.
Her fundamental expertise is in the field of Fresh Water Fisheries and Aquatic Toxicology, especially the effect of water pollutants to fresh water fisheries of Pakistan as environmental pollutants are major threats to aquatic life. Furthermore she supervised the MS research students and PhD students also under her supervision. Dr. Moazama has many research publications in journals with impact factor and conference proceedings to her name.
