Dr Nadim is the Professor of the Department of Biochemistry & Microbiology of the School of Health and Life Sciences at North South University. He was appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Department in June 2009. Before that, he had been associated with NSU as Part-time Faculty in the rank of Assistant Professor since January 2008. He had been promoted to Associate Professor in December 2011. Dr Nadim served as the Chair of the Department from January 2013 to May 2014.

Dr Nadim secured top position by achieving 1^st Class both in my BS (Hons) and MSc in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Dhaka. He also completed M. Phil in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Dhaka. Before joining NSU, he worked in the Department of Immunology, BIRDEM, as a Research Officer for 13 years, and his research work in BIRDEM resulted in eleven International Publications in high-impact peer-reviewed journals. During his employment with BIRDEM, he went abroad to do his PhD.

Dr Nadim completed his PhD in the area of Human Molecular Genetics and Molecular Medicine from the Department of Laboratory Medicine, Internal Medicine, Hirosaki University School of Medicine, Hirosaki University, Japan. His research work during his PhD tenure also resulted in three publications in internationally reputed journals.

He conducted research on the association of gene polymorphisms in lifestyle-related disorders, Gene expression profiling of platelets in enhanced aggregation, and microRNA expression analysis in AVP-stimulated hematopoietic progenitor cells. The title of his PhD dissertation was " Role of vasopressin V1a receptor (V1aR) gene polymorphism in essential hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and platelet responsiveness to vasopressin".
