These studies mainly focused on the development of functional foods and feeds using immunomodulatory probiotics. He received several prestigious national and international awards during his academic career including recipient of the “Best researcher award 2019-2020” of CVASU researcher’s, to chair a scientific session in front of very genius researcher (one of them are co-researcher of Nobel Laureate) in international symposium and holding national consultant (department of livestock services, GOB) positions.
He also involved professional activity including societies, reviewer of several journals, projects evaluator and editorial activity including Associate editor of Journal of Modern Agriculture and Biotechnology (Hong Kong). Furthermore he presented his research works in reputed Society such as Canadian Society of Microbiologists, European Microbiologists, and Japanese Society of Food immunology/ Animal /Veterinary/Dairy Science etc. Also he has supervised 10 MS and presently supervising 5 MS students.
His present research activities focusing on:
1) Product development and quality evaluation of milk & milk products (Fig.1).
2) Development of next-generation immunobiotics for growing healthy livestock & humans (collaborative work with JP) (Fig.2).
3) Isolation and identification of LAB and developing Probiotic Dahi/ Yogurt in Bangladesh (Fig.3).
4) Antimicrobial uses in lactating cows /Antimicrobial residues in milk & milk products of Bangladesh (Fig.4-a & b).
5) Dairy production including sub-clinical Mastitis in Dairy cows of Bangladesh (Fig.5).

I have already developed a good communication with Dr. Kitazawa (Food & Feed Immunology Group, Tohoku University,Japan). Moreover, I have published few articles in reputed journals such as Cells, Front. Immunol., Mol. Immunol., Beneficial Microbes etc. and few manuscripts are in process of submission for publication (Plz look publication) through our interaction and collaboration. We also initiate a three regional cores of the International probiotic/ Immunobiotics Consortium (Fig.).
