Her passion is to develop novel nanomedicine solutions for breast cancer treatment, which drives her PhD research and graduate research assistantship at Monash University. Under the supervision of Prof. Md Ezharul Hoque Chowdhury, she focused on delivering small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting growth factor receptor genes using surface-functionalized multi-cations carrying carbonate apatite nanoparticles. She has acquired multiple skills in academic research, qualitative research, qualitative data, pharmacology characterization on and fabrication of nanoparticles, UV/Vis spectroscopy, cell culture, cell-based assays, and working with siRNA, proteins, and animal models. She has also received the Tropical Medicine & Biology Multidisciplinary Scholarship, which covered my tuition fee and stipend. In her previous degrees, she gained valuable experience in HIV treatment management and barriers in Bangladesh's context, where she explored the role of government and NGO interventions.
