University of Montpellier 1, France

I have worked as a research student under this University in the laboratory of INSERM U376, CPBS (Institute of Biology) between the periods of 2002 and 2007 on ‘Compartmentalization of Protein Kinase A (PKA) in pancreatic beta cells’ where I have trained on animal cell culture (MIN6 and INS1), experiments on cell signaling, immunoprecipitation technique, western blot technique, immunofluorescence study, SiRNA and some other biochemical and molecular biological aspects.

University of Dhaka, Bangladesh

             Worked as a Research Associate on ‘Rice Biotechnology project for the development of salt tolerant rice’ from Dec 1993-April 1996      headed by Prof Zeba Islam Seraj in the Dept of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, funded by Rockefeller Foundation (USA) where I had taken care anther culture, embryo culture, suspension culture and cross breeding to find out a salt tolerant trait of rice.

Worked as a Research Associate in ‘National Iodine Deficiency and Disorder Survey in Bangladesh’, funded by UNICEF from Jan 1993 to Nov 1993 where I was engaged with the laboratory team of that project.

As a part of my MSc degree in the University of Dhaka I have carried out a research project on ‘Relationship between Smoking and Antioxidant Nutrients’ under the supervision of Prof Faruk Ahmed, INFS, Dhaka University (Jan 1992- Dec 1992). During this period I was also actively participated in another project on ‘Antioxidant Nutrients and Iron status among adolescent school girls in urban Bangladesh’. In both of these projects I was trained how to run epidemiological project, and in the laboratory part I was trained to use HPLC (High performance liquid chromatography, for the estimation of serum vitamins A and E) and AAS (Atomic absorption spectrophotometry, for the measurement of serum Zn and Cu).
