Projects


Track 1: Bioinformatics - RNA-Seq Meta-Analysis of Host Transcriptomic Response to COVID-19: A Systems-Level Approach to Identify Robust Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets


The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has prompted extensive transcriptomic studies examining host responses across tissues, disease severities, and clinical conditions.


Track 2: Global Health - Too Soon, Too Often: Understanding and Addressing Awareness Gaps Around Caesarean Section in Bangladesh


To explore how awareness, attitudes, and social influences contribute to the rising rates of Caesarean sections in Bangladesh, and to design an evidence-based community intervention to promote informed, safe birthing choices.


Track 3: Geospatial Health - Assessing the Impact of Climate Change on Mosquito-borne diseases in Coastal Bangladesh


To examine the relationship between climatic variables (temperature, rainfall, humidity) and the incidence of diseases such as dengue and malaria in coastal divisions like Khulna and Barisal.


Track 4: CardioSense: AI-Powered Cardiovascular Risk Monitoring Using Smartphone and Wearable Data in Urban Bangladesh


To develop and evaluate a smartphone- and wearable-integrated system for early detection and monitoring of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk using passive and active health data collected from urban populations in Bangladesh.
