The Office of Research, Innovation & Commercialization (ORIC), University of Mianwali, proudly extends heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Haris on the publication of his insightful research article:

“Phytochemicals from Zanthoxylum armatum act as potential therapeutics for Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi: A computational approach”

This significant study addresses the growing global challenge of multidrug-resistant Salmonella Typhi by exploring innovative, plant-based therapeutic solutions. Using advanced in silico drug design techniques, the research identifies promising phytochemicals—such as α-Amyrin, Sanguinarine, Nevadensine, and Lupeol—as potential antityphoid agents with strong binding affinities and favorable safety profiles.

This publication not only contributes to the fight against antibiotic-resistant typhoid but also underscores the potential of natural compounds in modern drug discovery.

👏 We commend Dr. Haris for his dedication, innovation, and valuable contribution to scientific research. His work brings pride to our institution and inspiration to the research community.
