Mohammad Enamul Hoque Kayesh is a Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Public Health at Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Bangladesh. He obtained his DVM and M.S. in Microbiology from Bangladesh Agricultural University and earned his Ph.D. in Veterinary Science from Yamaguchi University, Japan, in 2019. He subsequently completed postdoctoral research at Kagoshima University, Japan, and was awarded the FY2025 Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Invitational Fellowship for advanced research in molecular virology. His research focuses on virus–host interactions, viral pathogenesis, innate immunity, CRISPR/Cas9-based antiviral gene therapy, vaccine development, and animal models for viral infections. His work has contributed to understanding the molecular mechanisms of host immune responses to hepatitis viruses, dengue virus, influenza virus, arboviruses, and retroviruses, with particular emphasis on Toll-like receptor signaling and antiviral immunity. He has authored more than 60 peer-reviewed publications in international journals. Dr. Kayesh serves as an Editor for Scientific Reports (Microbiology Section), an Editorial Board Member of Discover Immunity, a Topic Editor for Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, and a Review Editor for Frontiers in Microbiology and Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences. His current research aims to advance antiviral therapeutics and vaccine strategies through an improved understanding of virus–host
