Dr. Mohammad Nur Alam

Summary

In 2018, I have pursued PhD degree in Botany (emphasized research in genomics, molecular biology, abiotic stress tolerant in plants, transcriptomics, antioxidant, antioxidant metabolism, oxidative stress, etc.) from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100049, China. Now I have been working as a scientific officer (Wheat Breeding) in the Bangladesh Wheat and Maize Research Institute (BWMRI), Nashipur, Dinajpur, 5200, Bangladesh since November, 2011 to the present. In 2011, I joined in the Wheat Research Centre (WRC) of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Nashipur, Dinajpur, 5200, Bangladesh In 2017, WRC-BARI was gazette as BWMRI in November, 2017. Besides, from 2007 to 2010, I worked at different NGOs in agriculturally based programs.
