I recently joined the Department of Pathology at the University of Pittsburgh, where I contribute to research on HIV/SIV pathogenesis, gut dysfunction, systemic inflammation, and associated comorbidities using diverse nonhuman primate models. My work also examines chronic inflammation, aging, immune cell function, and behavioral factors to help identify effective therapeutic and dietary interventions. I earned my Ph.D. in RNA Biochemistry from the University of Toyama, Japan, in 2020. I previously served as Assistant Professor and Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Trust University, Barishal, Bangladesh, and later, in November 2022, joined Florida International University, USA, as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. My research focuses on CRISPR-based silencing of HIV transcription in primary cells, the role of microRNAs in maintaining lung homeostasis, and the combined impact of HIV and cigarette smoke on airway immunity and oxidative stress, integrating both mammalian in vitro systems and in vivo mouse models to advance understanding of HIV-associated diseases.
