Groups
Groups bring Labbers together around a shared area of interest, where they collaborate and work on projects. Each Labber is usually part of one group, connecting with others who are passionate about the same field.
Genomes and Multiomes
The Genomes and Multiomics Group at the Precision Medicine Lab is dedicated to advancing personalized healthcare through integrative genomic and multiomics research. Our work involves analyzing whole-exome sequencing...
Network Biology
Biology is shifting from studying isolated components to understanding the complex systems that underpin life. Network biology leverages graph theory to map molecules as nodes and their interactions as edges. This approach offers...
Cells and Models
Our Cells and Models group focuses on cultivating and preserving primary cell lines derived from patients in collaboration with hospitals. Our mission is to bridge laboratory research with clinical care by developing advanced 2D and 3D patient-derived models...
Wearables
This study explores the use of smartwatches to monitor vital signs in pregnant women, aiming to identify early warning signs for complications. Participants will wear smartwatches to track heart rate, breathing rate, and other vital signs. Machine learning...
AI in Biomedicine
The AI in Biomedicine team is dedicated to advancing healthcare through Generative AI and AI applications. We focus on integrating AI into diagnostics across diverse fields, including cancer, radiology, network biology, histopathology, and genomics. Our...
Synthetic Biology
At the Lab, Synthetic Biology is the basis of innovation and collaboration. From engineering microbes to participating in prestigious iGEM competitions, we explore how to design and reprogram biological systems to address real-world...
Space Biology
We are blueprinting the interdisciplinary frontier in Space Biosciences and Medicine, the first of its kind in Pakistan — using biology as a tool to understand, design, and fabricate living systems to sustain life beyond and back on Earth — all by the people, for the people...
Biodiversity
Studying the intersection of biodiversity, conservation and the latest tools in biology such as genomics and synthetic biology is perhaps the youngest group at the Lab. With the effects of climate change already hitting various habitats in the ...
BioArt
BioArt is an exciting new addition to PMLab’s diverse research landscape. With it, we bring forth fresh perspectives, narratives, and innovative models that emerge from working with living organisms. Closely linked to biodesign, our lab not only practices both disciplines—such as using bacterial pigments to dye fabrics or creating new materials from biological derivatives...
Science Policy and the Bioeconomy
Since the earliest days, the Lab has been an active contributor in policy dialogues and conversations that are related to science, technology, education and innovation at both the provincial and national. With the dearth of think tanks and policy units, the Lab realised how important this role has become...
Science Education and Outreach
As believers in biology, our lab operates at two extremes - not only do we perform studies in the cutting-edge field of synthetic biology, equipping students with DNA reading and writing tools to devise new biological systems, but we have also impacted over 1,000 students by promoting the philosophy of frugal science...
