Dr. Md. Moksedul Momin | Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University

Md. Moksedul Momin currently serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Genetics and Animal Breeding under the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (CVASU) since April 2023. Before this role, he served as a Lecturer in the same department from April 2015 to July 2017, and later as an Assistant Professor from July 2017 to April 2023. Mr. Momin achieved his PhD in Statistical Genetics from the University of South Australia (UniSA), Australia. His academic journey includes graduating from CVASU with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree in 2011 and obtaining a Master of Science (MS) in Animal Breeding and Genetics in 2014.

Dr. Momin's research interests lie in the fields of quantitative genetics, statistical genetics, and genomic prediction of complex traits and diseases in both humans and animals. He has contributed significantly to the advancement of the field, particularly through the development of innovative methods for analyzing cross-ancestry genetic architecture. Additionally, Dr. Momin has authored several widely used R-packages, including r2redux, R2ROC, MSML, and GxEprs, which have received widespread recognition for their utility.

In addition to his primary role at CVASU, Dr. Momin serves as the Head of the Department of Industrial Biotechnology within the Faculty of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering at CVASU's Research and Farm-Based Campus in Hathazari, Chattogram.

In addition to his role at CVASU, Dr. Momin holds an Adjunct Research Associate position at the University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia. You can find more information about him at the following link: Dr. Moksedul Momin - University of South Australia.
