BIO OF A. T. M. BADRUZZAMAN

Dr. A. T. M. Badruzzaman is a molecular virologist and vaccine researcher specializing in influenza virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine development, antimicrobial resistance, and avian and zoonotic disease surveillance. He earned his Ph.D. in Molecular Medicine through a joint program between the National Central University and the National Health Research Institutes (NHRI) in Taiwan (2020–2024).

Before his doctoral studies, he completed both his Master’s in Pathology (2016) and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) (2013) from Sylhet Agricultural University, Bangladesh. His extensive research career spans molecular virology, vaccine innovation, and pathogen characterization across Bangladesh, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Dr. Badruzzaman’s recent research focuses on developing high-yield chimeric influenza VLP vaccines using baculovirus expression systems. His work has led to a patent application (USA & PCT), multiple international publications, and recognition from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and NHRI Taiwan for his scientific excellence.
