Research Interest
| Subject | Description | Research Interest (Goal, Target Indicator) |
|---|---|---|
| Social Pharmacy | Rational use of medicine. | |
| Ethnopharmacology | Exploring different pharmacological active molecules in different animal models. | |
| Clinical Pharmacy | Exploring resistance pattern of different antibiotics. Moreover, we are doing research to identify expression of different genes conferring antibiotic resistance. | |
| Pharmacogenomics | Present target to explore genetic polymorphism of endogenous free-radical scavenging enzymes in different metabolic diseases in Bangladeshi population. | |
| Molecular Pharmacology | Our prime objective to develop a cell based model to identify potential ligands from synthetic or natural origins. Then utilizing these ligands in different animal models. We are also using pharmacology approach together with transcriptomics analysis to identify different G protein鈥揷oupled receptors that protect against cellular stress and death. We describe this concept to degenerative and diabetic retinopathies in Bangladeshi population. We are also planning to explore strategies to combat complex diseases by using regular prescription drugs as well as natural or synthetic ligands. |
