Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Farhana Nasrin's research focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes, with recent work investigating gene splicing and its impact on cellular functions. Publications include studies on the splicing regulation of the GFPT1 gene, exploring its roles in glucose metabolism and neuromuscular junction integrity. Another area of investigation involves the formation of G-quadruplex and i-motif DNA structures in the promoter region of the MYD88 gene, a key adaptor in the innate immune system. Nasrin has also examined the coordinated role of SRSF6 and SRSF1 in enhancing the inclusion of a specific exon in the human MUSK gene, leading to a Wnt-sensitive isoform. Her work extends to animal health, with publications on the effects of Allium cepa, Allium sativum, and Foeniculum vulgare extracts on the growth performance, immune responses, and disease resistance of prawns. Additionally, her research includes coprological investigations of helminth parasitic infestations in buffaloes in Bangladesh and constraints in buffalo rearing for livelihood improvement.
