Muhammad Yasir
Dr. Muhammad Yasir is a Research Fellow at the School of Optometry and Vision Science, University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. He completed his Ph.D. at the same institution in 2020 focusing on investigating the activity and mechanisms of action of newly designed cationic antimicrobial peptides, peptidomimetics, and peptoids against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. He is particularly interested in understanding how these innovative antimicrobials prevent microbial colonization on various surfaces. His extensive research contributions have led to the publication of more than 30 articles in highly regarded international journals.
