Dr. Jamil Ahmad Shilpi
Professor



After completion of my B Pharm (Hons) and M Pharm (thesis) from University of Dhaka in 2001, I joined Khulna University in 2002 as a lecturer at Pharmacy Discipline. Later I completed my PhD from University of Strathclyde in 2009. My PhD project was focused on the antibacterial activity of natural products from Bangladeshi medicinal plants. Later I worked as a Bright Sparks Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Natural Products  and Drug Discovery,  University Malaya from 2013 to 2015.

My current research focuses on evidence based bioactivity study of native medicinal plants, plants of the Sundarbans and bioactivity directed chromatographic separation of natural products.

My teaching areas are natural products of therapeutic value, pharmaceutical analysis, drug discovery from natural sources.

PhD (Natural products)

2005- 2009: University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK

M. Pharm (Thesis)

2000-2001: University of Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh

B. Pharm (Hons.)

1995-1999: University of Dhaka, Bangladesh

Current projects are focused on medicinal plants used in ethnomedicinal practice in Bangladesh; mangrove plants, fungal endophytes, soil bacteria from the Sundarbans mangrove forest. Samples selected upon intensive study of their ethnobotanical uses are investigated by established in-vitro and in-vivo models to justify their traditional use. Promising plants are then subjected to chromatographic and spectroscopic analyses to identify the active principle(s). 

Evidence based in silico bioactivity screening of natural products.
