Biography

I am a plant scientist by profession, serving as a senior scientist at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI). My research area is Plant Virology. My previous academic qualification includes MS in Plant Pathology and Ph.D in Molecular Plant Virology. My vision is to manage plant virus diseases using plant antiviral immunity by understanding the molecular host-virus interactions.

Area of Interest:

Plant Pathology
Plant Virology
Plant Biotechnology
Plant Defense
Plant Protection
