Dr. Md Nur Alam is an academician and researcher in the field of biological science. Of late, he is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology in University of Science and Technology, Chittagong. His research expertise encompasses environmental toxicology/health, molecular biology, reproductive biology and epigenetics. Dr. Alam has about 5 years of research experience on environmental/molecular toxicology and during this tenure he participated in a few international research projects with the faculties and scientists from University of Chicago, USA, Columbia University, USA and University of Sains, Malaysia etc.

Dr. Alam’s research assesses how environmental pollutants alter molecular mechanisms (genetic and epigenetic changes) and consequent phenotypic changes, ultimately leading to toxic effects or adverse health outcomes in living organisms including wildlife and human. His research also provides scientific data for translational research (developing therapies to prevent environmental toxicities/diseases) and policy making on regulation of environmental and industrial chemicals use.

To date, Dr. Alam has 11 publications in the top-ranked scientific journals of publishers such as American Chemical Society (ACS), Elsevier, PLOS One etc.
