Lecturer

From
my senior college I have a potential interest in the field of biological sciences.
Therefore, I consciously pursued through various competent channels and earned
my Bachelor of Science (Honors) in Fisheries and Master of Science (MS) degree
in Fisheries Biology and Genetics. My undergraduate years helped me to develop
a comprehensive view about the interdisciplinary relationship among various
fields of biological sciences.
During
my graduation studies I felt very much interest in the field of genetics and
molecular biotechnology. Referring some good books to lucidify my basic concept
about these fields proved out to elevate my interest more in the particular
field. We have theoretical as well as practical courses on Genetics, Fish
Breeding, Molecular Biotechnology and Fish Pathology. By virtue of these course
work I gained lot of theoretical knowledge as well as practical skills.
Later, during
my postgraduate studies I found out my interest towards the most promising
field i.e. genetics and molecular biotechnology. I was fortunate enough in
getting an opportunity to work under Dr Samsul Alam and Dr. Mostafa Ali Reza
Hossain during my MS research work. My dissertation entitled “Genetic variation of three different populations of Indian
Bullfrog, rana tigerina using
allozyme marker”. The research was carried out in the laboratory of the
Department of Fisheries Biology and Genetics ,
Bangladesh
Agricultural University during January 2006 to June 2007. The research works
included collection of samples, analysis of genetic variation of different frog
populations by gel electrophoresis.
After
completion of my post graduation studies I immediately got a chance at Bangladesh Water
Development Board (BWDB), as a Fisheries Research Officer. As a Research
Officer, my duties were concentrated in and around the evaluation of impacts of
water resources management projects on fresh water ecosystems, fish
biodiversity and fish production.
I am
presently working in the Department of
Fisheries and Marine Science, Noakhali Science and Technology University , Bangladesh
as a Lecturer and deliver speech on Fish Genetics, Fish Breeding and Hatchery
Management, Molecular Biotechnology etc.
In the light of
my interest, the rich curriculum of Masters Program in Animal Breeding and
Genetics coupled with the knowledge about latest scientific approaches and techniques
would be an excellent option for me to develop myself as a scientific
researcher. Moreover, this program offers a wide range of courses on the field
of genetics and breeding that would certainly be helpful in my teaching and
research. In addition, I have the opportunity to be familiar with the teaching
and research techniques as well as the cultures of different European
Universities through this M.Sc. program that would certainly be helpful in my
professional life. I may share the acquainted knowledge with advanced
techniques and methodologies of research regarding animal genetics and breeding
to my students at Noakhali Science and Technology
University , Bangladesh .
I must mention
my involvement as a faculty member of Fisheries and Marine Science Department;
I need to develop myself through higher education and modern research
techniques in the field of animal breeding and genetics. After completion of my
proposed masters program in Animal Breeding and Genetics, I must come back to
my country to concentrate in teaching and research at my University.
Having
more interests in animal breeding and genetics, I believe that EMABG fellowship programme will
provide me the right opportunity for my intellectual growth as well as to
achieve my career goals.
