Shamrat Kumar Paul

Hello! Shamrat here; a first-year graduate student of Medical Biophysics in the Physics and Astronomy Department of Clemson University here in beautiful Clemson, South Carolina, United States. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from BSMRSTU in Gopalganj, Bangladesh.

During my academic activities in Bangladesh, I worked on molecular modelling and molecular dynamics simulation study of proteins associated with EAE: a mouse model of Multiple Sclerosis under the supervision of Mahbub Hasan, PhD. In summer 2020, I also worked on DEGs analysis from ovarian cancer datasets as a research intern at the Cancer Biology Lab, Dept. of Biotechnology, IIT Madras, India with a GRIESHMA fellowship under the supervision of Professor Karuanagaran D. I secured a joint 2nd runner up position at the BAUET Tech Fair 2K18 at BAUET, Natore, Bangladesh for the outstanding presentation on DFT and Molecular Docking study on Delafloxacin against ABSSI.

Apart from research, I love to sketch, do check my graphite on papers here, whilst great fan of classical detective stories - Sherlock Holmes, Feluda and many more. In my off-research time, I love to teach biology to the kids at my village where I show them the fun experiments of DIY DNA extraction, glowing plants and perspective biochemistry in our daily lives.
