Characterization and prevalence of Post-COVID symptoms among recovered patients in Bangladesh
(Brac University, 2022-05)Among the developing nations, Bangladesh was one of the countries severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The healthcare sector was overwhelmed with patients, and economic development came to a halt. Returning back ... -
Multidrug Resistant Salmonella Spp. and Staphylococcus Spp. Isolated from milk in Dhaka City
(Brac University, 2021-03)The foodborne pathogen Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus spp. are responsible for a food borne disease affecting both humans and animals. To evaluate the presence of these nuisance bacteria, a total of 61 samples ... -
Progress of edible vaccine development
(Brac University, 2022-02)Edible vaccines are edible plants genetically engineered to contain a gene that specifies an antigen or a marker sequence sequence of defective gene or protein. The mucous lining comprises one of the first lines of defense ... -
Bioinformatics Analysis Reveals miR-98-5p as a potential Inhibitor of Tumor cell proliferation and metastasis in Colorectal Cancer by targeting the FZD3 receptor of the Wnt signaling pathway
(Brac University, 2021-12)According to the World Health Organization (WHO) report of 2020, Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third most common type of cancer and the second cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. However, the existing treatment, ... -
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)

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 ... -
