I trained as a medical doctor in Bangladesh. Driven by a passion for research and academia, I transitioned into neuroscience and earned a Master’s degree in Neuroscience from the University of Bonn, Germany. Following my Master’s, I completed my PhD at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, under the mentorship of Prof. Christian Wolfrum, a leading figure in metabolic research. I joined the lab of Prof. Ana Domingos at the University of Oxford as a recipient of the prestigious Novo Nordisk Oxford Postdoctoral Fellowship. My postdoctoral research led to the discovery of sympathetic perineurial cells (SPCs) as key regulators of leptin and noradrenaline signaling in adipose tissue, providing novel insights into peripheral leptin resistance in obesity. This work has recently been accepted for publication in Nature Metabolism.
