Professor KHAN, after completion of graduation in Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) in Animal Husbandry (Hons) and MS in animal breeding and genetics stared work as an extension service and then moved to the Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute (BLRI) at Savar, Dhaka, where worked as a Senior Scientific officer and the main work was administration and research on dairy cattle genetic improvement. After 2 years he moved at Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University as an Assistant Professor. During this time he has completed 10 Research project as a Principal Investigator and involves teaching on different courses (Genetics and Animal Breeding and Computational genetics/biology) at graduate and undergraduate level. He has done PhD from Massey University; New Zealand with the thesis title was “Developments of models for the genetic improvement of dairy cattle under cooperative dairying conditions in Bangladesh”. Then in Scottish Agricultural College, (University of Edinburgh), UK he has developed a stochastic models for the genetic improvements dairy cattle. Currently he is working as a Professor at the Department of Genetics and Animal Breeding, CVASU, Bangladesh. So far he has published more than 64 research articles in different national and international journals and he attendant more than 14 conferences in home and abroad.
