Microbiology

BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Md. Toslim Mahmud is a molecular microbiologist. During his Ph.D. program he explored molecular activation mechanism of VacA, a key virulence factor of Helicobacter pylori. During his postdoctoral research, he successfully modified few AMPs to selectively and effectively kill H. pylori. Currently, he is running few projects on metal degrading bacteria and prevalence pathogenic Vibrio cholerae from coastal region.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Molecular Microbiology Bacterial adaptability in harsh condition like heavy metal petrolium contaminated condition etc. V. cholerae prevalence in coastal area.
