Sammer Yousuf is a professor of organic chemistry at the H.E.J. Research Institute of Chemistry, International Center for Chemical and Biological Sciences, University of Karachi. She is among the most promising young female scientists in Pakistan and is recognized for her original contributions to structural and bioorganic chemistry. She has authored more than 290 research papers published in leading international journals and five book chapters, with more than 4,180 citations and an h-index of 34. Yousuf is a pioneer of crystal engineering in Pakistan and established the first crystal engineering laboratory at the International Center for Chemical and Biological Sciences, where the structural, physicochemical, and therapeutic properties of co-crystals are extensively studied. She has successfully aligned her fundamental research in structural chemistry with emerging areas of science at the interface of chemistry and biology. Her research identifying medicinally important plants for the treatment of leishmaniasis, a rapidly growing neglected tropical disease, has resulted in a USA patent and has progressed to clinical trials.
