Frequently Asked Questions

Applicant FAQ

Common questions about joining the laboratory and completing thesis research.

Laboratory research student intake is strictly and exclusively open to undergraduate students from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Chittagong (BMB, CU). External students or non-departmental candidates are not admitted for laboratory intake.
Master's (M.S.) thesis positions are not filled through open external recruitment. Instead, undergraduate students who complete their B.Sc. (Honours) degree in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at CU and receive foundational research training in our laboratory continue on to carry out their Master's thesis dissertation under faculty supervision.
Students are encouraged to apply during their early 4th year in BMB, CU. This provides adequate time for sterile bench protocol training, C. elegans colony handling, assay calibration, and literature review before starting their formal 4th-year project and Master's thesis.
Prior advanced wet-lab experience is not required. We look for strong foundational understanding in biochemistry, high academic diligence, genuine passion for experimental science, and commitment to maintaining sterile protocols and laboratory safety.
Undergraduate research students commit approximately 8–12 hours per week, planned flexibly around their regular departmental class schedule and exams. Master's thesis students conduct full-time daily research in the laboratory.
Yes, absolutely! Our laboratory strongly prioritizes mentoring student researchers to publish their thesis discoveries in indexed peer-reviewed international journals (e.g., Springer, SciELO, BioTechnologia). Student researchers with solid, validated data are credited with co-authorship or first authorship.
