(Hons.) degrees in Food Science & Technology from University of Karachi. In 2011, he won the grant for pursuing PhD under the overseas PhD program of Chinese Scholarship Council and completed his PhD with distinction in 2015 from Nanjing Agricultural University, China. In 2015, he joined as Assistant Professor in the Department of Meat Science and Technology, UVAS. Prior to joining UVAS, he also served in food Industry as a Quality Controller during 2009 to 2011.
Dr. Sher Ali is expert in meat science and technology, and has several SCI publications in renowned peer reviewed journals. Moreover, he has presented his work in many National and international conferences, including in China and Thailand. Furthermore, he has expertise in meat quality, safety and nutrition. Additionally, he has worked on effect of freeze-thaw cycles on meat quality, cold supply chain of meat, preservation technologies of meat with particular emphasis on enhancement of eating quality. Moreover, he has hands on chemical techniques like assessment of protein and lipid oxidation; high throughput instruments like NMR, HPLC, GC, GCMS, Western Blotting, SDS-PAGE, 2DE Gel Electrophoresis, HPP, Viscoelastic properties and textural profile analyzer; along with microbial safety of fresh and frozen meat. Currently, he has been working on new product development as well as value addition.

Areas of interest

His current areas of interest are meat technology; post slaughter technologies for improving meat quality; as well as enhancement of eating quality and shelf life.
