Research Work of Qarshi University’s faculty members -Thinking Beyond the Horizons

Qarshi University’s interdisciplinary research group believes that to solve challenging problems faced by society, researchers and scientists across disciplines have to work together. At Qarshi University, we strive to synergize research by encouraging researchers and scientists to stretch their boundaries and collaborate to form interdisciplinary research groups. Towards this objective, we have active interdisciplinary research groups in areas of Bioinformatics.
