Apart from research activities, I have been involved with science movement in Bangladesh from early 2000s. I convened the formation of Young Biotechnologists of Bangladesh (youngBB) in 2006 and assisted Global Network of Bangladeshi Biotechnologists (GNOBB) in their various activities.
During my DPhil in the University of Oxford, I played leading roles within the University and beyond. I was the president of Hartford College MCR, the founding president of Oxford University Bangladesh Society and Vice president of the Oxford University Islamic Society. I was the regional coordinator for commonwealth scholars in the midland and Oxford region for two years.
I am the founder and president of the Cancer Care and Research Trust Bangladesh (CCRTB). This organization is actively working to promote cancer awareness and research in Bangladesh
