Work

Though, GC University, Lahore has a long and established tradition
of research, emphasize is now shifted to the quality of
output. Accordingly, we have re-designed our research
programmes across disciplines to make this work meaningful and
academically rewarding.
GC University allocates fairly large sum of money for
the research projects of all departments and the allocation
has been substantially increased over the years. This year GC
University research allocation is Rs. 6.0 Million in addition
to the research grants given by HEC, the Science Foundation,
PTCL and other agencies. Consequently, we have managed to
constantly improve the quality of research work in physical
and social sciences besides increasing the scope of research
activities. This work is carried out under the supervision of
GC
University Advanced Studies and Research Board.
At
present, twelve foreign professors are working in different
departments of GC University, Lahore on long-term basis. Some
foreign professors are expected to join very soon. We also had a
number of foreign visiting professors last year, who taught short
courses in different disciplines during the academic session.
Their presence on our campus has reinvigorated academic programmes
and strengthened research activities.
The World Bank Research Project
The
World Bank has commissioned the Economics Department of GC
University, Lahore to carry out a study on the impact of WTO
Regime on Pak-India trade and industry. This study has great
academic and economic significance in the current
environment.
Major Research Projects in collaboration with Different
Industries
The
following major sponsored research programmes are in progress in
Biotechnology Research Centre in collaboration with different
Industries:-
-
Process development for celluloses production for industrial use
(sponsored by HEC in collaboration with National Feed Industry,
Sheikhupura).
-
Optimization of cultural conditions on the biosynthesis of xylanases by
locally isolated Aspergillus niger (sponsored by Pakistan Science
Foundation in collaboration with National Feed Industry,
Sheikhupura).
