Scientific guidance, supervision, and collaborative research leadership
Academic Mentorship
Principal Investigators & Research Advisors
My scientific development, experimental wet-lab rigor, and translational computational mindset have been profoundly shaped by the mentorship of two esteemed principal investigators at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Chittagong. Their joint supervision guided my MS thesis research and established the foundation of my career in biomedical science.
Dr. Dwaipayan Sikdar

In Vitro Biochemistry
Phytochemical Profiling
Enzyme Kinetics & Assays
Antioxidant Radical Scavenging
Natural Products
Dr. Dwaipayan Sikdar is a distinguished Professor whose research program centers on natural product chemistry, in vitro enzyme inhibition assays, and antioxidant biochemistry. As my primary MS thesis supervisor, he provided rigorous academic leadership, directed the structural and scientific synthesis of my manuscripts, and provided continuous intellectual mentorship that defined my analytical perspective.
MS Thesis Supervised
"In silico and in vivo study of antioxidant activity of phytochemicals from Houttuynia cordata, a perennial herb using molecular docking and Caenorhabditis elegans model"
Dr. Suman Mojumder
Associate Professor · Dept. of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology & PI, Laboratory of Applied Biosciences
C. elegans Model Biology
In Vivo Longevity Assays
37 °C Survival Kinetics
Thrashing Locomotion
Brood Size Toxicity
Applied Biosciences Lab
Dr. Suman Mojumder heads the Laboratory of Applied Biosciences at the University of Chittagong, spearheading investigations into Caenorhabditis elegans genetic models, oxidative stress defense, and lifespan regulation. As my MS thesis supervisor, he provided hands-on guidance with C. elegans culturing, thermal survival, thrashing locomotion, and reproductive toxicity assays, playing an indispensable role in my laboratory training.
MS Thesis Supervised · In Vivo Direction
"In silico and in vivo study of antioxidant activity of phytochemicals from Houttuynia cordata, a perennial herb using molecular docking and Caenorhabditis elegans model"
"Under their collaborative supervision, I acquired the foundational rigor required to bridge experimental wet-lab biology and C. elegans in vivo models with translational computational science — establishing the scientific principles and interdisciplinary philosophy that define my research today."
