Md. Torequl Islam

About

I am working as an Associate Professor, Department of Pharmacy, Gopalganj Science and Technology University (GSTU) (Former: Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and Technology University or simply BSMRSTU), Gopalganj 8105, Bangladesh. I completed Bachelor of Pharmacy (B. Pharm., Hons.) and Master of Pharmacy (M. Pharm.) degrees from KU (BAN) and SUB (BAN), respectively. Then, I received my doctoral degree in biotechnology from the UFPI (Brazil). I also have two separate postdoctoral research experiences from UFPI (BR) and KU-UGC (BAN). Previously, I worked as a lecturer at SUB and a part-time researcher at TDTU (VN), respectively. To date, I have had more than 600 peer-reviewed publications (including textbooks, eBooks, journal articles, abstracts, seminars, and conferences). I have been listed in the top 2% of scientists in the world since 2020 by the Stanford University, USA, and Elsevier.
