PROFILE

SHORT BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Md. Mostafizur Rahman awarded PhD in Environmental Science from Hokkaido University, Japan. He is interested in the field of Toxicology, Molecular toxicology, pollution monitoring and remediation technologies. Dr. Rahman has special skills in cell culture, gel electrophoresis, western blotting, RT-PCR, and Flow Cytometry. He has also special interest to study on emerging environmental pollutants and their effects on human health such a micro and nano plastics in water and soil system. Currently, Dr. Rahman has been supervising 8 undergraduate students and one MS student. His current research actvities are mainly focused on mechanism/s of metal toxicity, emerging pollutants, pollution remediation. He is also interested in collaborative research. He is open for future collaboration (rahmanmm@juniv.edu).

Special Issue "Cytotoxicity: Environmental Pollutants and Human Health"

https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/special_issues/Cytotoxicity

This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the current state of our knowledge about the effects of environmental pollutants on human health and its improvement. We welcome new research papers, reviews, and case reports on this issue. We also welcome papers dealing with the development of new methods to solve the issues discussed here. Reports and commentary on the current status of environmental pollution and health impacts will also be included. The following are some examples of topics covered in this Special Issue:

  • Environmental pollutants and health: heavy metals, organic chemicals (VOCs, POPs, etc), salinity
  • Mechanism of toxicity of contaminants (in vivo and in vitro)
  • Ameliorative effects of toxicity from environmental pollutants and its mechanism
  • Environmental pollutant removal (biological and chemical) restoration techniques
  • In vivo interaction of heavy metals
  • Combined contamination and biological effects
  • Effective removal method for salinity
  • Interaction between arsenic and salinity on human health

Position: Principal Investigator
Period: June 2019 to May 2020
