Acknowledgement<br />

All praise for Almighty ALLAH, Without Allah’s help, I would not be able to achieve<br />

anything in my life.<br />

I am greatly honored to owe my deepest thanks to my thesis supervisor Prof. Dr. Marcelo<br />

Fernández-Lahore for giving me the opportunity to carry out my PhD work under his kind<br />

supervision and accepting me in his international group. I greatly appreciate his valuable<br />

suggestions and supervision in my PhD work. I am highly thankful to him for accepting my<br />

wife as a graduate student under his kind supervision. He has given me an opportunity to<br />

perform my tasks independently which increased my curiosity for research and which<br />

accomplishes the true spirits of PhD. I am thankful for his student friendly and cooperative<br />

attitude in the last four years.<br />

I am also thankful to Prof. Dr. Matthias Ullrich and Dr. Abid Riaz Ahmad for their comments<br />

and nice suggestions for the improvement of the thesis.<br />

I also want to thank and acknowledge Muhammed Mobashir and Abdul Wakeel for helping<br />

me in the bioinformatics part of this work.<br />

I convey my heartiest acknowledgements to my group fellows Aasim, Zia, Nadia, Noor Shad,<br />

Farhat, Amir, Tuhidul Islam, Sirma, Amira, Rajesh, Dr Rami, Dr. Sonja, Miss. Nina, Antonio,<br />

Doreen, Iza, Naveen, Prasad, Rodrigo and Zumrad.<br />

Words are lacking to present my feeling for the prayers and struggles done by my parents<br />

throughout my life from childhood until now. I am now in this position due to my father<br />

continuous guidance and efforts during my education. I am also thankful to my brother<br />

Naveed Ali, sisters and brother in law; Sadeeq and Sabir for their love and care at each step of<br />

my life. I also want to acknowledge my other relatives and uncles Mumtaz Ali, Ihsan Ali,<br />

Qamer Zaman and my cousins Nazrali, Mohsin, Jenab, Aasim, Zafar, Amin, Khaild.<br />
