About
I am currently working as a Head Engineer in the Department of Biology (IBI) and Head Engineer/HSE-Coordinator in the Department of Biomedical Laboratory Science (IBF) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). I completed my Ph.D. in Medical Technology at NTNU in collaboration with Coegin Pharma, where I contributed to the development of therapeutic targets for chronic disorders, including cancer.
I completed my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology from the University of Chittagong, Bangladesh, in 2011 and began my research career as a Research Officer at icddr,b in 2012. In 2013, I obtained the Norwegian Government Fellowship (Quota Scheme) to pursue a second master’s degree in Molecular Medicine at NTNU, which I completed in 2015. Subsequently, I joined Coegin Pharma (formerly Avexxin AS) as a Laboratory Engineer in early 2016.
Throughout my research career, I have been fortunate to receive prestigious fellowships, including the MEXT (文部科学省, Monbu-kagaku-shō) fellowship for an internship at the National Institute for Physiological Sciences (NIPS) in Okazaki, Japan, in 2012, and the DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) fellowship for an internship at Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany, in 2014.
