Pak Association for Dental Research was established in March 2011 to provide a platform for dental researchers to present and discuss their research work. The primary objectives of the IADR Pakistan Section are to encourage the research culture among dental community, promote the ethics, art and science of dentistry and support members to provide high quality professional oral care. In a developing country like Pakistan, dental research does not sit very high on the priorities of policy makers.

It is a great honor and privilege to serve as President of the IADR Pakistan Section. Our association has an important role in strengthening the culture of research and innovation within dentistry and advancing evidence-based practice.
My vision during this tenure is to promote and expand research across academic institutions, with particular emphasis on undergraduate and postgraduate students and our young faculty members. I believe nurturing research interest early can inspire lifelong academic growth and contribute meaningfully to the advancement of dental science.
We will strive to organize meaningful academic and research activities, facilitate mentorship and collaboration, encourage scientific discussions, and create opportunities for young dentists and researchers to develop their research skills and present their work.
Together, let us build a vibrant, inclusive, and supportive research community that empowers the next generation of dental researchers and advances oral health.
