Molluscan Research Laboratory - RU

We are excited to share that our latest research article has been published in the Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering (Q1, IF: 7.2).

In this study, we investigated the green synthesis of protein-capped Ag/AgCl nanoparticles derived from Pila globosa tissue and evaluated their anticancer, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. This work reflects our effort to explore sustainable, biologically driven approaches in nanomaterials research with potential biomedical applications.

Congratulations to all the authors.

On behalf of the Molluscan Research Laboratory, "Eid Mubarak" to everyone. May your good wishes be fullfilled and your prayers be heard.

A wonderful Iftar evening with the lab members. Although our respected supervisor, Dr. Shariar Shovon Sir, could not join us today, his presence was truly missed. Looking forward to sharing such a moment together next time.

Today, we successfully delivered a presentation on the progress of our ongoing project.

Part of our findings on the field trip last year was published on 'Folia Malacologica' recently. The article highlighted the unique egg-lying behaviour of 'Amphidromus globonevilli' in Bangladesh. Several of our local newspapers and online news portals covered this story.

Thanks to journalists and editors for their coverage on this unique finding.
