Curriculum Vitae

Dr. Most Naoshia Tasnin is currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biochemistry & Microbiology of North South University, Dhaka, Bangladesh (since July 2024). Prior to this, she worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Shizuoka University, Japan (October 2022 – August 2023), and Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, Japan (October 2023 – December 2023), where she focused on autophagy, protein-protein interactions, and functional protein analysis etc. She also worked as a Part-time Assistant Professor at North South University from February to June 2024.

Dr. Tasnin earned her Ph.D. in Bioscience from Shizuoka University, Japan (2019–2022), under the supervision of Professor Takashi Ushimaru, where she investigated the role of different types of autophagy in cellular functions. She completed her B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Her M.Sc. thesis focused on the antidiabetic and antioxidant properties of natural products.

Throughout her research career, Dr. Tasnin has published over 15 research articles in reputed journals, contributing significantly to the fields of autophagy, molecular biology, and biochemistry.
