معرفی
Dr. Faiz Ahmad is a Professor in the Department of Biology at Brandon University, Canada. His academic journey includes positions such as Visiting Scientist at the University of Saskatchewan, Research Scientist at Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, and Research Associate at the University of Illinois. He holds a Ph.D. in Crop Science from the University of Saskatchewan (1988), along with multiple master's degrees in Agriculture and Crop Science.
His research focuses on genetics of food and medicinal plants, molecular cytogenetics, genetic conservation, plant biotechnology, and wide hybridization. Specific interests include interspecific hybridization barriers in legumes, alien gene introgression, and utilization of wild species for crop improvement.
Key publications span studies on chickpea genetics, interspecific hybrid fertility, wheat-Thinopyrum hybrids, and Fusarium head blight resistance. His work integrates molecular cytogenetic techniques like in situ hybridization and genomic analysis to explore plant genome interactions.
Dr. Ahmad collaborates extensively with institutions such as the University of Saskatchewan, Université Laval, and Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada. His research addresses critical issues in crop improvement, genetic resource utilization, and disease resistance through innovative cytogenetic approaches.
