Comparative analysis of CRISPR-Cas systems of Yersinia pestis and Escherichia coli strains. (November 2020 – December 2021)
(Brac University, 2022-01)The CRISPR-Cas system primarily refers to the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and its related protein enzymes (Cas) that confer adaptive protection against bacteriophages and other exogenous ... -
Bio-sorption studies of chromium (VI) ions with modified chicken feathers
(Brac University, 2021-12)Adsorption is one of the most important methods for cleaning industrial waste effluents. Adsorbents such as activated carbon have been used for a long time to remove heavy metal ions from wastewater. However, such adsorbents' ... -
Study on the frequency of single nucleotide polymorphism (rs766432) in BCL11A gene and its association with hematological parameter and HbF level among HbE/β -thalassemia patients in Bangladeshi population
(Brac University, 2021-10)Background: Thalassemia is a genetic disorder that causes malformed globin chains in hemoglobin and is the most prevalent blood disorder worldwide with high incidence rates even in Bangladesh. When β-thalassemia is inherited ... -
Development of in-vitro bio-assay for The bioactivity determination of human Erythropoietin (rHuEPO) bio-pharmaceutical products (November 2020 - August 2021)
(Brac University, 2021-10)Erythropoietin is mainly secreted by the kidney and involved in the growth and maturation of erythroid cells from precursors (Jelkmann, et al, 2013). Insufficient production of EPO could result in anemia. Considering ... -
Bacterial biofilm significance and implication in the epidemiology of waterborne disease
(Brac University, 2021-09)In the epidemiology of WBDOs, assessing the possible risk of biofilm and studying it is crucial. In this study, we look at the epidemiology of waterborne diseases as well as the diseases altogether. WB disease outbreaks ... -
Vitamin D deficiency: characterization of an overlooked health hazard
(Brac University, 2020)Vitamin D or sunshine vitamin is a hormone precursor, soluble in fat and plays an important role in our body by participating in several endocrine autocrine and paracrine activities. Since it has many pleiotropic health ... -
Using synergic relation between bacteriophage and a bacterial species for checking the effects of antibiotic resistance genes on the lytic property of bacteriophages.
(Brac University, 2021)Bacterial transformation is a process of horizontal gene transfer (hgt) where a few bacteria pick up foreign genetic material from the environment. In terms of newer therapies being applied, antimicrobial resistance is ... -
Potential use of Vibriophage in association with antibiotic to treat the vibrio Cholerae biofilm
(Brac University, 2021-08)In cholera prevalent areas, Vibrio cholerae in the aqueous environment can exist in a cell aggregated form covered by an extra polysaccharide matrix called Biofilm. These type of cells are named as VBNC (viable but non ... -
Isolation, identification, and characterization of Streptomyces species from common scab lesions
(Brac University, 2020-06)Streptomyces scabiei is largely accepted as the causal organism of common scab on potato in Debiganj, Rangpur and other Streptomyces species associated with common scab are not often considered. This study, therefore, ... -
Structural analysis of three pivotal SERK dependent PRR complexes of Arabidopsis thaliana
(Brac University, 2021-01)Pattern Triggered Immunity (PTI) is distinguished with the activities of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which play an essential role in plant defense mechanism. During aggression of microbes, PRRs immediately bind ... -
Potato variety improvement through marker assisted selection
(Brac University, 2021-02)Late blight (LB), caused by Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, is the most destructive for potato. The main objective of this study was to evaluate 72 potato lines, derived from cross products of the recipient cv. ... -
A comparative study of Environment Risk Assessment (ERA) guidelines of developing and developed countries including Bangladesh
