Our Purpose

3D Lab
Drug Discovery and Development Lab
Innovating Cure

🧭 Goal

To catalyse the discovery and development of novel, genome-informed therapeutics by integrating medicinal chemistry, molecular epidemiology, and mechanistic drug research, ultimately bridging the gap between academic insight and pharmaceutical innovation in Bangladesh.

🌟 Vision

To become a national center of excellence for drug discovery research, where innovation thrives despite resource limitations, empowering first-generation scientists and transforming Bangladesh into a country that not only manufactures but owns new medicines.

đŸŽ¯ Mission

  • To develop novel drug candidates by supporting medicinal chemistry with in-depth mechanistic studies, including antimicrobial activity (e.g., MIC) and genotype-driven drug responses.
  • To identify new genomic and genetic targets related to prevalent diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and infectious diseases through molecular epidemiology and population-based research.
  • To serve as a foundational resource hub for under-resourced yet talented students, equipping them with skills, technologies, and mentorship rooted in international research excellence.
  • To inspire a new generation of scientists from Bangladesh’s public universities to contribute meaningfully to global health by overcoming systemic and socioeconomic barriers.

Hi, my research journey started in the Hasan lab, University of Chittagong. I was involved with a thalassemia research project from where I learned fundamental molecular biology techniques Including Genomic DNA extraction from clinical blood samples, PCR and Agarose gel electrophoresis. I also learned how to capture data using electronic data capturing tool, REDCap.
