Md. Saddam Hossain | Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University

I am Md. Saddam Hossain and now working as Assistant Professor in the Department of Genomics and Bioinformatics under the Faculty of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering (BGE), CVASU, Chittagong-4330. I completed both my BSc and MS with 1st position (3.88 and 3.94 out of 4.00 scale) from the Department of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, JUST, Jashore-7408. Firstly, I started my career as Research Assistant at UGC project, JUST and conducted it one (1) year. Then, I had served about five (5) years as Scientific Officer (Researcher) in Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR), Dhaka-1205. I have more than 15 publications in different peer reviewed reputed national and international journal. However, my aim is to disseminate my academic excellence and research experience to my students and build the faculty as the enormous hub of scientist.
