Hello
I am Anas Bin Harun, originally from Bangladesh. I am a veterinarian and currently focused on life science research in the USA. My research work involves microbiome and gut health, antimicrobial resistance, molecular epidemiology of infectious diseases, and genomics of zoonotic bacteria and parasites leveraging my wet and dry lab skills.
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
2026-Present
Graduate Research Assistant
The Oladokun Laboratory, TAMU
I am working on dysbiosis index of poultry to be able to quantify the gut health using microbiome studies.
