Bio Sketch
Dr. Qazi Naveed Ahmed is from the Jammu and Kashmir region (a northern state of India) and was born in Kishtwar in 1978. He obtained his Ph.D. from Kashmir University under the combined supervision of Dr. H. M. Sampath Kumar and Prof. M. A. Qureshi at the CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine.He completed hisPost-Doctorial fellowship from University of Paris Sud-XI (France) under CNRS program (Aug 2008-2009) in the group of Prof. David Bonnaffe (Head, Glycochemistry Division). In 2012, he obtained a scientific position in IIIM Jammu and currently he is serving as Principal Scientist in Medicinal Chemistry Division. Dr. Qazi also served as Assistant Professor in Higher education department (March 2010 to Dec 2012). His current researchinterests are medicinal chemistry and applications of functional group driven synthetic methodologies across glycochemistry, bio-conjugation/bioorthogonal chemistry and late stage modification of bioactives.
