I was drawn to the paradigm of the drug-body interaction, when I first learned about the hypothesis of ‘magic bullet’ that can course through our body and find and bind to its target with exquisite specificity, thereby transforming a previously fatal and lethal disease to a treatable one. Being evoked with keen interest to delve into the depth of this science, I pursued a degree in Bachelors of Pharmacy and graduated summa cum laude from my native country, Bangladesh. This was a turning point in my academic life as it started to instill in me an unbounded fascination about the immune systems of living organisms and propelled me to immerse myself in the world of biological molecules that function with incredible intricacy to maintain and perpetuate life. Thus in an urge to comprehensively understand the basics of the immune system, I completed a course-based one-year Master’s Degree in Integrated Immunology at the University of Oxford in 2016 and then worked as a research assistant there for a period of 6 months. I joined Dr.Cobo’s lab in September 2017 with the conviction of acquiring extensive training in molecular biology and immunology under his supervision. My primary research focus now is studying the immune-modulatory roles of cathelicidins against Treponema infections in mice as model organisms.
