Biography

Dr. Salequl Islam has gained extensive experience in teaching to undergraduate and postgraduate students. Recently he has ended a visiting fellowship at Rega Institute, KU Leuven, Belgium, working with antiviral drug discovery. He has accomplished a postdoctoral research in AIDS linked to IntraVenous Experience (ALIVE) cohort at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, in evaluating inflammatory biomarkers among HIV/HBV/HCV infected intravenous drug users (IDU). He worked over 3 years in microbiological and immunological assessing of clinical samples from enteric diseases in Immunology Unit of icddr,b (International Center for Diarreal Research). He has conducted comprehensive basic research of coreceptor-utilization in HIV pathogenesis. Dr Islam has been working several years to disseminate American Society for Microbiology (ASM) activities into local students and young researchers. In 2016, ASM had selected him as the head of BioResource Center (BRC) for Bangladesh. Dr. Salequl Islam leads research activities at ‘One Health Laboratory’ at the Department of Microbiology, Jahangirnagar University (JU), Bangladesh. He has been leading several research grants of JU, University Grants Commision (UGC), Bangladesh Medical Research Council (BMRC) and grant of advanced research in education (GARE, ministry of education, Bangladesh). Dr. Islam has integrated a microbiology team in Jahangirnagar University consisting faculty member(s), MS research students, Mphil, and/or PhD fellows. The study team possesses an expert portfolio and working in deciphering multidirectional AMR transmission cycle in livestock, aquaculture, and environmental for a better food safety and security for national and global healthcare. His research group has been conducting both prevalence and surveillance studies of AMR transmission in animal husbandry, human urinary tract infection (UTI), and diarrheal diseases by maintaining collaborations with different hospitals and clinics. Dr. Islam is familiar to deliver scientific talk in domestic and international settings.
