Nazmul Hoque, Associate Professor, Department of Gynecology, Obstetrics and Reproductive Health, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur-1706, Bangladesh is a researcher in the field of metagenomics (microbiome characterization of bovine mastitis milk, anaerobic biogas plant, COVID-19 patients and non-COVID individual, yogurt etc.), molecular microbial genetics, whole genome sequencing of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, proteomics and transcriptomics, bioinformatics and reproductive biotechnology, and has already established himself as an eminent scientist in home and abroad.

 

Education and Research Experience

Nazmul Hoque received his doctoral (PhD) degree from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2020 under BSTFT (Bangabandhu Science and Technology Fellowship Trust) fellowship program after graduating in MS in Theriogenology (2009) from the Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh-2202, Bangladesh. He also earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) in 2007 from the Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh-2202, Bangladesh. He served as a Visiting Researcher in the Computational Biology Institute (CBI), the George Washington University, Washington DC, USA for three months (February-April, 2018). He participated a two-week long training program in the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI-EMBL), Cambridge, UK, 18-29 October, 2018. He was invited to give a Seminar Lecture on his PhD research in the Curlson College of Veterinary Medicine, Oregon State University, USA in July 2019. He has also participated in the “Genetic Solutions World Tour 2017”, July 13-18, 2017, New Delhi, India. He is serving as the American Society of Microbiology (ASM) Young Ambassador of Science to Bangladesh for 2020-2021 to promote and extend ASM global activities in Bangladesh. In last two years, he’s published >20 research articles in different reputed peer reviewed journals accumulating >35 impact factors.

Research Interests

Moved by his interest from veterinary reproduction to metagenomics, microbial genetics, bioinformatics and reproductive biotechnology, he is showing excellency in his research skills on biological problems with a large impact on society. He is decided to join a global bioinformatics group. At this moment, he is working in different genomic and metagenomic research project with the scientists from both home and abroad under national and international collaboration.  His future research interests includes- udder and milk microbiome of dairy animals through shotgun metagenomics approaches,  microbiome characterization of the reproductive tract diseases of dairy animals, microbiome investigation of the emerging and infectious diseases, genomic characterization pathogenic bacteria (complete genome sequencing) from bovine mastitis and other infectious diseases,  inherited reproductive diseases (IRD) using targeted gene panels, and genetic improvement of livestock through advanced reproductive biotechnology researches.
