"Dr Zulfiqar Mirani working as a Senior Scientific Officer in PCSIR is extremely motivated and enthusiastic, his dedication and patience inspired me a lot, as well as other students who are working under his supervision. His work on various topics like biofilm, MRSA, naoparticles and so on gives guidance and a path to follow in the different techniques of microbiology. His utmost achievements and continuous efforts make him a good researcher in the scientific field. His working etiquette, discipline and focus inspired me a lot.
