Curriculum Vitae
 

 

Dr. Md. Fakruddin joined North South University in June 2021 with a wealth of knowledge and research experience in molecular microbiology, industrial biotechnology, bioinformatics and stem cell biology. Currently, he is serving as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Microbiology under the School of Health & Life Sciences.

 

Dr. Fakruddin completed his B.Sc.(Hons.) and M.Sc. in Microbiology from the University of Dhaka and received Dean’s award from the Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Dhaka. He joined Industrial Microbiology Laboratory, Institute of Food Science and Technology (IFST), Bangladesh Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR) as Scientific Officer in 2009. In 2013, he moved to Kumamoto University, Japan to pursue his PhD under the Japan Government Scholarship Program (MONBUKAGAKUSHO/MEXT). Dr. Fakruddin received his Ph.D. degree from Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kumamoto University in Molecular Physiology in 2017. His Ph.D. research involved mitochondrial tRNA modifications and underlying molecular mechanisms of diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. He then moved to the International Research Center for Medical Sciences (IRCMS), Kumamoto University for postdoctoral study on mitochondria-inflammation-microbiome interaction in normal and stressed hematopoiesis and was awarded prestigious JSPS (Japan Society for Promotion of Sciences) post-doctoral fellowship in 2018. His study at Kumamoto University involved extensive works on different cell lines and stem cells as well as transgenic animal models.

At the North South University, Dr. Fakruddin is currently engaged in teaching core subjects in Microbiology and Biomedical Science, e.g., cell biology, molecular genetics, bioinformatics and metabolism. His research interest includes bacterial virulence and pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions, microbiome and human disease and industrial biotechnology.  Dr. Fakruddin has coauthored numerous, high impact journal publications & conference articles and received several awards and grants from various funding agencies both from home and abroad.
