I am a medical Microbiologist and a PhD student at the School of Veterinary Science, University of Queensland funded by Bangladesh Government Scholarship. I have completed M.Phil in Microbiology from Dhaka Medical College, Bangladesh in 2016. My doctoral thesis is focused on molecular characterization of Influenza Viruses at human-poultry high-risk interfaces in Bangladesh. Prior to my PhD studies I have worked with multi-sectoral lab teams for more than 6 years in Bangladesh and contributed to the diagnosis of novel viral agent family, investigating different zoonotic diseases outbreak including covid 19 outbreak and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). During my Professional period, I was involved in several projects focusing on Infectious disease epidemiology and One health research. I was the lab coordinator of IEDCR for the USAID PREDICT project in Bangladesh and maintained liaison with laboratory partners regarding molecular and serological identification of known and novel viruses.
