Shifat Hossain

I am an international student from Bangladesh. I have spent over 15 years of my life in Oman and Saudi Arabia. I am currently a senior studying Chemistry, Molecular and Cellular Biology, and Bioinformatics with a minor in Computer Science. Throughout my three years at U of A, I have worked in a few different labs and switched around different jobs. The current lab I am working in is in the CBC department. We are working with a molecule found in your eyes. In our lab, we are studying its activation. Outside the lab, I work as a Global Ambassador where I organize events and help international students make Tucson their new home.  My other long time work includes tutoring at SALT. My hobbies include playing board games (especially Catan), painting, spending time with my puppy, and trying food from around the world!
