I am an American citizen, currently serving as the Dean of School of Science and Head of Departments of Biochemistry and Public Health Nutrition in Primeasia University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. http://sos.primeasia.edu.bd/Biochemistry.php The two other Departments under my office include Microbiology and Pharmacy.
My education and career focus into the areas of Biology, Cell & Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Environmental science, Toxicology, and Physiology. I also teach molecular biology, immunology, human health and nutrition related BIOMEDICAL COURSES, routinely.
Early part of my carrier involved front line Biochemistry-related RESEARCHES in India, France, and USA (1983-1994). Thereafter, I was involved in TEACHING in US institutes for many years (1994-2004). I left USA in January 2005 related to broaden my teaching and research experiences; since then, I have served in three different universities (Malaysia, Oman, and Bangladesh, 2005-2014). These jobs allowed me to gain further experiences working with diversified student bodies having different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. During my research and teaching career (1983-2014), I was thus involved in multitasking university businesses such as administrative, academic, national and international research collaboration, linkage program, extra-curricular activities, review of curriculum, course outline, pedagogy and other routine affairs.
