National Nematological Research Centre

National Nematological Research Centre (NNRC), University of Karachi, is the sole research and academic institution of Nematology in the country.

NNRC was established in 1974 at University of Karachi by Dr. M.A. Maqbool as the founding father. Under the prudent directorship of Dr. Maqbool, NNRC remained the premier Nematological research institution of the country and got international recognition. The untiring efforts of Dr. Maqbool led to the formation of Pakistan Society of Nematologists (PSN) in 1980 which has been housed at NNRC ever since.
