Research Interest

Subject	Description	Research Interest (Goal, Target Indicator)
Foodborne pathogens and food safety	I work on research projects to ensure food safety in Bangladesh. My project aims to study the pervalence of Listeria monocytogens, in environmental and food samples of Banlgadesh and to study its genotype, antibiotic resistance. I am also working on the occurance of Legionella pneumophila in water samples of hospitals, hotels, food industries where they are reportedly found worldwide. Both Listeria monocytogens and Legionella pneumophila are two less studied pathogen that can have serious damages in human.
Environmental Pollution and Bioremediation	My research work focuses on finding out a solution to Environmental pollution in Bangladesh resulting from industrial pollutants like heavy metals, textile dyes etc. The aim of my rersearch is to develop a sustainable bioremediation method to remove these pollutants from water.
