Biography

Mr. Waseque is currently working as Assistant professor from July 13, 2018 and joined as Lecturer on 1st January, 2017 at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet-3114, Bangladesh. Prior to coming in this university, he was a faculty member at the Department of Pharmacy, BGC Trust University Bangladesh, Chittagong (January’ 2016- December’ 2016), and after completing his post-graduation he worked rudimentarily as a Research Fellow at the Laboratory of Molecular and Structural Immunology, Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Chittagong, Chittagong-4331, Bangladesh. Mr. Waseque successfully accomplished his B.Sc. and M.S. (having 1st position both in B.Sc. and M.S.) from the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Chittagong, Chittagong-4331, Bangladesh in the year of 2011 and 2012, respectively.
Presently, he is working with a team which is particularly involved in the field of Molecular and Structural Immunology. Mr. Waseque is quite familiar with sophisticated techniques such as Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), Protein Expression and Purification, Animal Cell Culture and others. He is seemly proficient in handling of mice model, immunization followed by mutant specific antisera collection, and immunological characterization techniques.
Mr. Waseque was born in Brahmanbaria, Bangladesh. He is free mixing person, loves to integrate with challenging activities, and likes to travel a lot.
