About

I earned my Ph.D. in Medical Science from the College of Medicine at Soonchunhyang University, where my research focused on addressing key challenges in regenerative medicine, including the endothelialization of vascular grafts, cartilage regeneration, bio-artificial kidney development, promoting stem cell proliferation and differentiation on biomaterial surfaces, and minimizing immune responses. Prior to this, I completed both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in pharmacy from Khulna University, Bangladesh.
