News November 11, 2026

A delegation from the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences (IBMS), Khyber Medical University (KMU), Peshawar, led by Director Prof. Dr. Inayat Shah alongside Faculty of Forensic Sciences members Dr. Hafsah Muhammad and Dr. Wahaj Anees, recently conducted an official visit to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), Peshawar. During the visit, the KMU-IBMS delegation held a comprehensive meeting with the Director of FSL to explore avenues for institutional collaboration and establish a formal linkage between the two organizations.

The discussion centered on creating a mutually beneficial partnership that connects academic instruction with active forensic operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Both leaders agreed on the need to establish structured student internship programs at FSL, which will allow KMU-IBMS students to gain direct exposure to real-world forensic workflows, evidence handling, and laboratory protocols. This practical training will help students transition smoothly from theoretical coursework into professional forensic roles.

The meeting also addressed mutual capacity building and professional development for staff at both institutions. KMU-IBMS faculty will design and deliver specialized training sessions, workshops, and academic modules to upskill FSL officials and enhance the laboratory's technical service delivery. In return, FSL will provide KMU-IBMS forensic science faculty with hands-on, case-based practical experience, enabling them to participate in active casework analysis. Integrating this applied field experience back into KMU-IBMS will strengthen faculty expertise, inform ongoing research initiatives, and improve the quality of forensic science education offered at the university.
