About me

I'm Raihan Rahman Imon, now studying at the Department of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology in Jashore University of Science and Technology, Bangladesh. Biological research seems interesting and personally, vast enthusiast to be a researcher in the background of Life Science, specifically in Medicinal chemistry, Microbial Biology and therapeutic, Immuno_informatics and Vaccine design. Previously I was working on immunoinformatics, Cancer Biomarker identification and analysis and In-silico drug discovery as my research work. Currently, I'm working in the Molecular and Cellular Biology Lab, Jashore University of Science and Technology, Bangladesh as a research student. My ongoing thesis project is to identify novel therapeutic lead compounds against antibiotic-resistant bacteria to overcome the worldwide distrust situation due to multidrug resistance.
