Welcome!!! We are a community of marine biologists. We are at the Institute of Marine Sciences, University of Chittagong, Chattogram 4331, Bangladesh. The focus of our Lab is to study a wide range of marine microbes and invertebrates, including gelatinous zooplankton, sea stars, sea urchins, ctenophores, cnidarian, benthos, polychaetes, annelids, sea cucumbers, tunicates jellyfish, bryozoans, horseshoe crab, and crab. We are also interested in marine fish, seaweed, and phytoplankton. We use DNA barcoding and morphometric characteristics to identify the specimen and study their ecology, behavior, physiology, systematics, biology, phylogeny, and many other experimental studies running in our lab. We aim to introduce new specimens, understand their behavior in the ecosystem, and conserve biodiversity in coastal and open seas. We are highly collaborative with fantastic researchers from all over the world. We have many graduate and undergraduate research assistants.
