Welcome to My Portfolio!
Hi, I’m Md. Hridoy Ahmed, and I’m thrilled to have you here! I’m a researcher, educator, and lifelong learner with a passion for genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics. My journey in science has been all about exploring how we can use cutting-edge research to solve real-world problems, especially in healthcare.
My Story
I graduated with first-class honors in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology from the University of Chittagong, where I ranked among the top in my class every year. My academic journey helped me build a solid foundation in molecular biology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics. Along the way, I developed a deep curiosity for uncovering the secrets of our DNA and using that knowledge to improve lives.
During my studies, I had the privilege of leading projects that made a real impact. From designing vaccines for viruses like Mpox to identifying antiviral compounds for Chikungunya, I’ve been fortunate to work on research that combines computational tools and experimental techniques. I’ve even published two papers in top-tier journals as the first author—something I’m incredibly proud of.
What I Do
I founded BioPC- A Bioinformatics Lab of Research and Training, to share my passion for science with others. Through this platform, I’ve led teams from five countries and mentored aspiring researchers. Together, we’ve tackled exciting projects and organized workshops for over 1,000 students. Seeing others grow and succeed has been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey.
I’ve also gained hands-on experience through my thesis and internships at places like the Functional Genomics and Proteomics Laboratory(FGPL) and The National Institute of Biotechnology, where I worked on molecular techniques like DNA sequencing. These opportunities have given me a chance to learn, grow, and contribute to meaningful scientific discoveries.
