Md Akeruzzaman Shaon is a PhD researcher at Charles Sturt University, where he is part of The Shiddiky Laboratory under the supervision of Professor Muhammad J. A. Shiddiky. His doctoral research focuses on developing rapid, low-cost screening methods and point-of-care diagnostic devices to address maternal health complications, particularly in low-resource settings. This work aims to advance biosensing technologies and translational diagnostics to improve outcomes for mothers and infants worldwide.

Shaon holds a Master of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. His master’s research focused on identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as potential biomarkers for breast cancer.

With more than three years of research experience, Shaon has gained strong technical expertise in molecular and analytical methods, including PCR, qPCR, PAGE, RFLP, gas chromatography (GC), ion chromatography (IC), and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). He has conducted research at leading institutions in Bangladesh, including the University of Dhaka and the Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR).

His interdisciplinary interests span cancer biochemistry, molecular biology, electrochemistry, bioinformatics, biostatistics, and computational biology. He is a recipient of the prestigious National Science and Technology (NST) Fellowship and has published his work in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
