Bio : Dr. Basharat Ali is working in the Department of Chemistry, University of Baltistan, Skardu Pakistan as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry. Previously, he was working in the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Basic Sciences (CIRBS), International Islamic University, Islamabad, from February 2021 to 31st July 2025. He also worked as a Research Assistant at the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering at Zhejiang University, China. He worked on organometallic catalysis for polymer synthesis and synthesis of organic solar cells. During his post-doctorate in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry, Soochow University, China, he worked on the synthesis of chemiluminescent dioxetane probes, fluorescent probes, and the synthesis of anthraquinone (Rhein and Emodin Natural Products) derivatives. He got a PhD in organic chemistry from the HEJ Research Institute of Chemistry, ICCBS, University of Karachi. During his PhD he worked on the synthesis of hydrazones, thiosemicarbazides, 1,2,4-triazoles, and other heterocyclic compounds. Twenty-four students completed their MS/M.Phil thesis under his supervision. One PhD student completed his thesis under his co-supervision, and 02 are in the pipeline. He has published 01 book/chapter, 01 patent, 22 papers (till 2025) in reputed journals, including the Journal of Organic Chemistry, the European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Tetrahedron, Bioorganic Chemistry, and the Journal of Material Chemistry A, etc. He is a reviewer of many reputed journals like Bioorganic Chemistry and RCS Advance, etc. His recent research focuses on design, synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of medicinally important synthetic small molecules, particularly, in the field of heterocyclic chemistry.
