Researcher at University of Dhaka
I use data and network biology to study how diseases work and why drugs fail. My current focus is breast cancer, where I look at why targeted treatments like antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) stop working. To do this, I find candidate genes from papers and public databases like TCGA and GEO, map how they interact using STRING, and analyze the networks in Cytoscape to see how cancer cells change to survive. I am also applying this exact same approach to Alzheimer’s disease, where I want to see how miRNA networks affect how cells respond to small-molecule drugs. Finally, I am deeply interested in synthetic biology because I don’t just want to analyze these biological networks, I want to learn how to design and engineer them.
