Research Experiences

RESEARCH ASSISTANT

August 2020- December 2020

Full-time

Employment Duration 5 months

Project Topic: Whole-genome Sequencing of SARS-Cov2 in Sylhet region, Bangladesh.

COVID-19 samples were collected from different areas of 4 districts in Sylhet. Among these 10 genome sequences have been published by Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Database (GISAID) on 31st December. The study found a total of 79 mutations in the COVID-19 genome. Of these, 6 strains are completely unique in the world and 24 are completely new to Bangladesh.
