Josefina Abedin

I have 8+ years of experience in conducting multi-sectoral laboratory work in Bangladesh and contributed to the diagnosis of novel viral agent families, investigating different zoonotic disease outbreaks including covid 19 outbreak and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). I have diverse expertise in molecular ecology, microbial culture and genotyping of respiratory pathogens, especially Nipah virus, influenza virus, corona virus and other zoonotic viruses. I was the lab coordinator in IEDCR for the USAID PREDICT project in Bangladesh and maintained liaison with laboratory partners regarding molecular and serological identification of known and novel viruses. I have served as an instructor to train other lab personnel from the government of Bangladesh. I have close collaboration with national and international projects on surveillance of pathogen detection.
