Prof. Choudhary has, since 1990, been among the world leaders in the field of natural product chemistry, and has made pioneering contributions in the discovery of novel natural products. He has discovered many potent anti-epileptic and anti-leishmanial compounds from indigenous medicinal plants that are under clinical trials. His contributions to reverse bacterial resistance to antibiotics represent seminal contributions in this important field. He led the developing world’s finest research center, the International Center for Chemical and Biological Sciences during 2002-2004, and has trained hundreds of young researchers, especially women, from across the Afro-Asian region in natural product chemistry. He has established several research centers in Pakistan, and helped to setup research units in Africa, and South and Central Asia. His scientific, and capacity building contributions have been recognized by prestigious national and international awards and honors, and fellowships of several academies of science. Prof. Choudhary has 1307 publications, impact factor of publications is over 2,735, (Citations 42,181, h index 84) in the fields of organic and bioorganic chemistry, along with 68 national and international patents, 94 books and 40 chapters in books, published by major U.S. and European presses. On the basis of his researches, 102 students have been awarded Ph. D. degrees in various areas of natural product and bioorganic chemistry. Students: 127 Ph. D., 88 M. Phil.
