Dr Adnan Mannan

Group Leader & Principal Investigator, DBME Research Group

Presently working on the epidemiologic and molecular basis of diabetes. Adnan is also working on the molecular basis of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. His previous research work includes the metabolomics and molecular signaling pathway, study of various anti-diabetic compounds. Besides this Adnan is interested in the pharmacological effect of various novel proteins and designing a therapeutic agent from them. His research work also consists of the genomic and proteomic study of various microbes and human genes using the computational approach. Apart from that, he also aims at the various demographical study of infectious and genetic disorders in Chittagong city.

Research interest: Metabolic disorders, Diabetes & Non Communicable Diseases (NCD), Molecular epidemiology, Antibiotic resistance, Marine Biotechnology and Bioinformatics.
