In my current role at the University of Houston College of Medicine, I teach integrated pre-clerkship courses and serve as Co-Director of the Clinical Anatomy and Human Development (CAHD) course in the MD program. I also serve as Vice-Chair of the Evaluation and Assessment Subcommittee (EAS), where I contribute to reviewing and strengthening student assessments and program evaluation processes to ensure alignment with curricular goals and accreditation standards.
I attained a PhD from the University of Toronto, Canada, where I taught anatomy in MD and DDS programs. My primary research focuses on the role of immunity in obesity-associated diabetes, alongside broader interests in human anatomy, histology, and medical education. I also serve as executive director and lead mentor at the Center for Biomedical Research and Training (CBRT), a global research training platform.
I have authored over 20 articles in high-impact, indexed journals and secured more than $150,000 in competitive grants, awards, and scholarships. With over 15 years of experience in medical teaching, biomedical research, and clinical practice across USA, Canada, Malaysia and Bangladesh, I bring a comprehensive skill set to these fields.
As an educator, I am committed to fostering a learner-centered environment that emphasizes the practical application of knowledge. I have a strong track record of building meaningful relationships with students, faculty, and administrators. My extensive teaching experience across diverse institutions and global settings enables me to create inclusive, collaborative learning environments. Through my research and teaching, I aim to advance medical knowledge and contribute to improving patient care standards.
