Statement of Intent

The world of microbes is an invisible one, hidden behind the visible curtain of living existence; yet it’s well perceived by humans. Being both beneficial and baleful, the influence of microorganisms on our lives must be accepted unanimously. Such a fact is simply awe inspiring and rhymed with my predilection to biology, encouraging me to build up an academic interest in bioscience, particularly microbiology.

Since my secondary studies, the interesting facts and findings of biology caught my attention more than any other fields of science. My inclination toward biology was reflected by perfect grades during my secondary and post-secondary studies. During my undergrad studies from University of Dhaka, nation’s top research University, I majored in Microbiology. There, an elaborative coursework on eclectic areas of microbiology allowed me to gain in depth knowledge about the role of microbes in human health, lifestyle and environment; both good and hazardous. I wanted to pursue my carrier as a researcher in this specialized field of biology so that I could contribute something positive for the human society through innovative findings.

During my undergraduate research project, I had the opportunity to work under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Mozammel Hoq, My research project focused on the production of cellulase by Trichoderma spp. using submerged fermentation technique at a renowned institution ,Bangladesh Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR). Cellulase enzyme has practical application in textile industries. This research experience intensified my interest for pursuing higher education in related fields . After my successful undergraduate research work, I became fascinated by the power of microbes, and the fact t...

...lass research activities by various research labs of your department in the field of cell and molecular biology. Your research intensive program would foster my research capabilities as well as the theoretical knowledge about cell biology. Moreover, my career plan involves extending my studies further to PhD., a Masters degree from renowned Cell and Molecular Biology program would definitely play a vital role towards that. In short, I believe that, a successful career will be ahead after completion of this Master’s Program.

I believe that, Uppsala University, with its international environment and cultural diversity, is a perfect institute for international students. If I’m allowed to be a part of this your Cell and Molecular Biology department, I hope, I will be well prepared for carrying out innovative and diverse research throughout my entire career. Thank you.
