Summary
Muhammad Hossain is a professor and director with 13+ years driving bioinformatics research and education, specializing in comparative genomics and evolutionary biology. He has led de novo assemblies of multiple Streptococcus uberis genomes from SOLiD and Illumina data and now focuses on recombination, genome network analysis, and virulence comparisons. Skilled across NGS pipelines, assembly/annotation, RNA-seq, MLST, and statistical analysis in R, he also codes in shell, C, Perl and Python and administers SQL/Oracle databases on Linux/UNIX. His career blends international postdoctoral and research fellowships with long-standing leadership at North South University and the NSU Genome Research Institute, giving him both deep technical expertise and institutional stewardship. An unexpected strength is his early work on molecular epidemiology and antibiotic resistance, which informs his current comparative approaches to pathogen evolution.
