I currently serve as an Assistant Professor in The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, North South University Bangladesh. I teach in the area of Biopharmaceutics & Pharmacokinetics, Advanced Pharmaceutical Analysis, Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmacognosy and Pharmaceutical Calculations for compounding. Additionally I am serving in the position of Department Graduate Studies Coordinator, which oversees the graduate programs for the professionals working in the pharmaceutical industries. I served previously as the Faculty Adviser for the North South University Pharmacy Club for its year long professional activities. Currently University renamed and reorganized the club as "NSU Pharmaceutical Club".

Sep 2012 - Aug 2014
In my recent post doctoral training in University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston in Cancer Medicine Department, I worked on the new generation platinum compounds, which might circumvent the platinum-resistance in the non small cell lung cancer harboring the wild type p53 protein. Our work demonstrated that all platinum drugs currently used in the clinical setup as well as those new drugs we were working might fall into two distinct categories identified by correlating their IC50s for the non small cell lung cancer cell lines. In addition we identified several possible genes, which are likely to be related to the mechanistic pathway of the platinum drugs by the correlation of their IC50s to the different protein expressions from RPPA (reverse phase protein array) analysis of the non small cell lung cancer cell lines. The translational work focused on how the new generation platinum drugs might restore the wild type p53 functionality in the non small cell lung cancer cell lines to circumvent the platinum resistance. I employed my pharmaceutics and Medicinal Chemistry expertise to formulate the stable aqueous formulation of the new platinum drugs for the invitro and invivo cytotoxicity screening. We used hydroxy propyl beta cyclodextrin as solubilizer to make the stable aqueous formulation for all new compounds. Show less
