EDUCATIONAL TRUST

My heartiest welcome to all the continuing and prospective students of this prestigious and renowned university, The
University of Lahore (UOL), established in 1999 with the vision of becoming a world-class educational institution fulfilling
all the learning needs of the students. The state-of-the-art facilities/infrastructure capable of offering innovative and
quality training in a conducive and highly developed learning environment have partially contributed to its current status
of being the largest private sector university in Pakistan.
The university became a Degree Awarding Institution through a charter by the Government of Punjab in 2002 and the
Higher Education Commission (HEC) positioned it in the highest “W-4” category nationwide. Such a status has been
achieved through dedicated efforts of the Ibadat Educational Trust (IET), the Board of Governors, teaching faculty and the
management of the university as a whole.
It is pertinent to mention that the regulatory bodies of the Government of Pakistan that include Higher Education
Commission of Pakistan, Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC), Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC), Pakistan Nursing and
Midwifery Council, Pakistan Bar Council, Pharmacy Council of Pakistan etc. have accredited all our professional programs.
The university, thus, fully adheres to all the required guidelines in the best interest of the institution and the students.
The degree programs offered cater too the phenomenal changes unleashed by the rapid advancement in science and
technology as well as meeting the challenges posed by globalization. With its professional competence, commitment and
dedication of the management, and the untiring efforts of our highly qualified teaching faculty, I am confident that the
university is systematically achieving its prime objectives.
The university is playing a significant role in the lives of thousands of our young students and graduates in various
disciplines including Medicine, Dentistry, Engineering, Allied Health Sciences, Pure Sciences, Business Studies, Information
Technology, Computer Science, Arts and Social Sciences. I am glad that the researchers and scholars of the UOL are
working as a team and fully contributing towards developing all-round manpower for the benefit of our civil society.

The BS (AI) program gives the students an in-depth knowledge they
need to transform large and complex scenarios into actionable decisions.
The program and its curriculum focus on how complex inputs — such as
knowledge, vision, language and huge databases - can be used to make
decisions to enhance human capabilities. The curriculum of the BS (AI)
program includes coursework in computing, mathematics, automated
reasoning, statistics, computational modeling, introduction to classical
artificial intelligence languages and case studies, knowledge representation
and reasoning, artificial neural networks, machine learning, natural
language processing, vision and symbolic computation. The program also
encourages students to take courses in ethics and social responsibility,
with the opportunity to participate in long term projects in which artificial
intelligence can be applied to solve problems that can change the world
for the better — in areas like agriculture, defense, healthcare, governance,
transportation, e-commerce, finance and education.

INTRODUCTION
Post-COVID 19 era brings Microbiology into limelight. The world is
looking towards the microbiologists for their discoveries regarding
vaccines and therapeutics. It is just one side of the picture. In general,
the scope of microbiology cannot be pen down in a single document.
The food you eat, contains microorganisms. If they are not up to the
standard, you get sick because of bad microbes. Similarly, if the hygiene
of the body is compromised, the pathogens will evade it. Moreover,
the whole biosphere including air, water, land, atmosphere contains
their respective microorganism which help to sustain the environment
by regularizing the biogeochemical cycles as well as establishing the
healthy ecosystem. If microbes are removed from the environment,
all forms of life cannot exist. Food, clinical, medical and environment
are potential areas where a microbiologist can play a significant role
from preliminary screening to improving the standards using microbial
genetics tools and techniques.

The M.Phil. program in Molecular Biology encompasses many of the cutting-
edge disciplines in life sciences research. It is an exciting, rapidly growing field
with major applications in agriculture (green biotechnology, leading to improved
crops or production of vaccines in plants), health care (red biotechnology,
leading to better therapeutics, diagnostics, and personalized medicine) and
industry (white biotechnology, leading to sustainable production of energy,
enzymes, and chemicals). The degree program focuses on the interface
between Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. The interface drives major
advancements in knowledge and applied research and development, such as
the development of next-generation biomedical products.
