BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Mehede Hassan Rubel has been working as an Associate Professor at the Department of Agriculture at Noakhali Science and Technology University (NSTU) since 26 September 2020; joined as a Lecturer at the department on 26th May 2013. His research background includes a strong foundation in the biological sciences through hunting of different project activities, focusing on characterization of different plants, molecular biology, plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), bioinformatics, and host-pathogen interactions. He has been participated in several national and international seminars, workshops, conference related to climate resilient crops and received “Best Poster Awards”. He achieved National Science, Information and Communication Technology (NSICT) Fellowship during his Master of Science study. He completed several projects as a Project Investigator like Special Allocation funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST), GoB and UGC research fund by NSTU Research Cell, NSTU. He successfully completed several training courses e.g., Statistical Package for Postgraduates in Agriculture, Project Cycle Management on Sustainable Climate Smart Agriculture for Govt. Officials, Foundation training for University Teachers etc. He achieved his PhD on “Development of molecular markers for pathovars and races of Xanthomonas campestris and profiling glucosinolate biosynthetic gene expressions modulated by black rot in cabbage”. Now, he is working on breeding for developing biotic and abiotic stress tolerant crops especially southern part of Bangladesh and molecular characterization of pathogens causing diseases on major crops in Bangladesh, and published thirty-six (36) articles in renowned journals with high impact factors.
