Noakhali Science and Technology University (NSTU) marked a significant milestone with the inauguration of its Biotech Association, a move aimed at fostering a culture of modern and data-driven research within the institution. The event, which took place on November 3, saw the Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Muhammad Ismail attend as the chief guest, while Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Md. Rezuanul Haque, Treasurer Professor Dr. Muhammad Hanif (Murad), and Dean of the Faculty of Biological Sciences Professor Dr. Mohammad Shafiqul Islam were present as special guests. The seminar, titled "Basic R Programming," was a precursor to an online workshop that will be conducted at a nominal fee of Tk 999, a fraction of the cost of similar courses offered outside the university.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Biotech Association was formally established with a convening committee, including Associate Professor Dr. Abu Nasar Mia as the convener, Associate Professor Dr. Mohammad Mofizul Islam as the member secretary, and Angkon Das, Mahmud Hasan Tuhin, and Sithi Rani Sinha as joint convenors.
  • The association aims to nurture research skills in students, particularly in data analysis and interpretation, to bridge the gap between laboratory work and computational analysis.
  • The online workshop, set to follow the seminar, will focus on R programming and will offer learners a skillset essential for modern research.
  • The initiative is expected to benefit students of the Department of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering and biological sciences learners at large.
  • The association plans to advance NSTU's research culture by promoting data-driven exploration and skill-building in students.

Statistics:

  • The online workshop will be conducted at a minimal cost of Tk 999.
  • This is significantly lower than the cost of similar courses offered outside the institution, which range from Tk 3,000-4,000.
