About

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, where my research focuses on cardiovascular immunology, immunometabolism, and the role of macrophages in inflammation, tissue repair, and adverse remodeling following myocardial infarction. Using mouse models of coronary artery ligation, I investigate immune mechanisms that drive heart failure progression and evaluate emerging therapeutic strategies to improve cardiac recovery.

Previously at Auburn University, my research centered on gene regulation, sex differences in immunity, and molecular mechanisms of host defense using Drosophila models. Through this work, I developed broad expertise in molecular and computational biology, including single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing, flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, western blotting, fluorescence microscopy, ELISA, cloning, microinjection, and bioinformatics using R and Python for transcriptomic and genomic analysis.

In addition to research, I have extensive teaching and mentoring experience. I served as an instructor at Auburn University and Auburn University at Montgomery, teaching Introductory Biology, Organismal Biology, and laboratory courses. I value active learning, scientific curiosity, and hands-on training, and I am committed to mentoring students and early-career scientists.

I hold a PhD in Molecular Biology with a minor in Computational Biology from Auburn University, an MS in Immunobiology from Purdue University Fort Wayne, an MS in Biotechnology from the University of Dhaka, and a BS in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology from the University of Dhaka.
