About

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, focusing on cardiovascular immunology and the role of macrophages in inflammation and tissue remodeling after myocardial injury. Using mouse models of myocardial infarction via coronary artery ligation, I study immune mechanisms driving heart disease and potential therapeutic strategies.

Previously at Auburn University, I investigated gene regulation and expression using molecular and computational biology. I developed skills in sc/snRNA-Seq, Flow Cytometry, qRT-PCR, western blotting, microscopy, ELISA, cloning, nano-injection, and bioinformatics (R/Python), including gene expression and genome analysis.

I also served as an adjunct instructor at Auburn University at Montgomery, teaching IntroBio lab courses, and as an Instructor at Auburn University for IntroBio and Organismal Biology. I designed active learning curricula and fostered hands-on, engaging lab experiences. I'm passionate about mentoring, sharing knowledge, and promoting scientific thinking through both research and education.

I hold a PhD in Molecular Biology (minor in Computational Biology) from Auburn, an MS in Immunobiology (Purdue Fort Wayne), an MS in Plant Molecular Biology (University of Dhaka), and a BS in Genetics and Biotechnology (University of Dhaka).
