Summary
Arif Tanmoy is an Associate Scientist and genomics lead at the Child Health Research Foundation in Dhaka with nine years’ experience in pathogen genomics, bioinformatics, and laboratory management. He completed a PhD on population structure and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella Typhi and has driven whole-genome surveillance projects across bacterial and viral pathogens, informing public health responses in Bangladesh and internationally. Technically fluent in Python, shell scripting, R and familiar with Perl, he builds and optimizes sequencing protocols and bioinformatic pipelines for multidisciplinary teams. He combines hands-on wet-lab leadership with scalable computational workflows, and his work contributes directly to tracking AMR and vaccine-preventable disease dynamics. Outside the lab he is an avid bird photographer, a detail that mirrors his patient, observational approach to genomic surveillance.
