About Us
We are a dedicated research group from the Department of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), Bangladesh, committed to advancing the frontiers of bacteriophage research, phage therapy and microbiome science. Our mission is to address the urgent global threat of antibiotic resistance through the development of phage-based alternatives and precision antimicrobial strategies. Alongside our phage research, we are actively engaged in microbiome studies—exploring the complex interactions between AMR pathogens and microbial communities to understand their roles in health, disease, and therapeutic response. With multiple active research projects both in vivo and in silico, we explore the therapeutic potential of phages and microbiome modulation across clinical, molecular, and translational contexts. Our team comprises passionate researchers, driven students, and accomplished alumni who collaboratively contribute to a dynamic and progressive scientific environment. United by a shared vision of sustainable healthcare solutions, we aim to pioneer impactful discoveries that bridge laboratory science with real-world applications.

Our group is currently involved in several pioneering research initiatives at the intersection of phage biology, microbiome dynamics, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Key ongoing projects include: Phage Therapy Against Multidrug-Resistant Pathogens:Isolation, characterization, and therapeutic evaluation of lytic bacteriophages targeting clinically relevant AMR bacteria, with in vivo efficacy studies underway. Phage-Host Interaction Networks: In silico and experimental modeling of phage-bacteria dynamics to understand evolutionary patterns, receptor specificity, and resistance escape mechanisms. Development of Phage-Based Antimicrobial Platforms: Exploring engineered phages and phage-derived enzymes (endolysins, depolymerases) as targeted antimicrobials for clinical application.
