Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Farhana Nasrin's research investigates molecular mechanisms underlying cellular processes, with a focus on gene splicing and its role in metabolism and neuromuscular function. Her work has explored the regulation of specific gene isoforms, such as those for GFPT1 and MUSK, and their impact on glucose metabolism and Wnt signaling pathways. Nasrin has also studied the formation of DNA secondary structures, like G-quadruplexes, in gene promoters, specifically within the MYD88 gene involved in innate immunity.

Beyond molecular biology, Nasrin's research interests extend to animal health and nutrition. She has examined the effects of dietary supplements, including Allium cepa, Allium sativum, and Foeniculum vulgare extracts, on the growth performance, immune response, and disease resistance of freshwater prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) against Vibrio parahaemolyticus infections. Additionally, her work includes coprological investigations of parasitic infestations in buffaloes in Bangladesh and an analysis of constraints in buffalo rearing for livelihood improvement in the region.
