Dr. Noreen Samad

Dr. Noreen Samad is a Tenured Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, where she leads pioneering research at the interface of neurochemistry, behavioural neuroscience, and biochemistry. Her scholarly work is distinguished by a strong focus on the pharmacological and mechanistic evaluation of both synthetic and natural bioactive compounds, with the overarching aim of identifying novel therapeutic agents for neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Dr. Noreen Samad serves as the Collaborative Research Group Leader at GICBES (The Green Institute of Chemical, Biomedical, and Environmental Sciences), where she heads NeuroQuest: Neurochemical Pharmacology &Behaviour Research Group. Under her leadership, the group focuses on advancing multidisciplinary research at the interface of neurochemistry, pharmacology, and behavioral sciences. She plays a pivotal role in fostering innovation, guiding scientific collaborations, and mentoring young researchers to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying neurological and psychiatric disorders. Dr. Samad’s leadership emphasizes integrating green and sustainable scientific approaches with cutting-edge biomedical research to address pressing challenges in neuropharmacology and behavioral neuroscience.

Dr. Samad’s research has been disseminated widely through peer-reviewed publications, national and international conference presentations, and collaborative research networks. Her long-term vision is to expand the frontiers of neurochemical and biochemical sciences, contributing to the development of innovative, evidence-based interventions that enhance neurological health and improve quality of life.
