Overview of Research & Academic Biography 

A. K. M. Humayun Kober received the B.Sc. in Animal Husbandry & M.S. in  Dairy Science from Bangladesh Agriculture University and the Ph.D. from the Tokyo University of Agriculture and TechnologyJapan. He did a JSPS Post-doc (2015-2017) and JSPS Invitational Research Fellow (2022-2023) on Food Immunology at Tohoku University, Japan. He was a Visiting Researcher (2014) at the Norwegian Univ. of Life Sciences, Norway. He joined as a Lecturer in the Dept of Dairy & Poultry Science, CVASU in 2001 and he holds the position of Professor since 2015.

He published about 50 original research articles (achievements about 100 IF) in reputed journals such as Frontiers in Immunology, Molecular Immunology, Cells etc. He also works in collaboration with Dr. Haruki Kitazawa of Tohoku University. These studies mainly focused on the development of functional foods and feeds using immunomodulatory probiotics. He received several prestigious national and international awards during his academic career including recipient of the “Best researcher award 2019-2020” of CVASU researcher’s, to chair a scientific session in front of very genius researcher (one of them are co-researcher of Nobel Laureate) in international symposium and holding national consultant (department of livestock services, GOB) positions. Details can be find on CV.

Recently (Aug, 2024) he  published his maiden book 【Milk and Dairy Foods: Nutrition, Processing and Healthy Aging】 as sole author by CRC Press/Taylor & Francis Group, USA (https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003397786) and already has caught the attention throughout the GLOBE.

Dr. Humayun has chaired scientific meetings and served as Guest Editor/Review Editor/Associate Editor on the editorial boards of scientific publications such as Microorganisms and Frontiers in Microbiology. He also involved professional activity including societies, reviewer of several journals, projects evaluator. Furthermore he presented his research works in reputed Society such as Canadian Society of Microbiologists, European Microbiologists, and Japanese Society of Food immunology/ Animal /Veterinary/Dairy Science etc. He has supervised over 15 master's students and is now supervising 5 master's students 

His present research activities focusing on:

1) Product development and quality evaluation of milk & milk products (Fig.1).

2) Development of next-generation immunobiotics for growing healthy livestock & humans (collaborative work with JP) (Fig.2).

3) Isolation and identification of LAB and developing Probiotic Dahi/ Yogurt in Bangladesh (Fig.3).

4) Antimicrobial uses in lactating cows /Antimicrobial residues in milk & milk products of Bangladesh (Fig.4-a & b).

5) Dairy production including sub-clinical Mastitis in Dairy cows of Bangladesh (Fig.5).

6) Isolation of Pathogens from Milk & Milk Products  (Fig.6).

Collaboration


I have already developed a good communication with Dr. Kitazawa (Food & Feed Immunology Group, Tohoku University,Japan). Moreover,  I have  published few articles in reputed journals such as Cells, Front. Immunol., Mol. Immunol., Beneficial Microbes etcand few manuscripts are in process of submission for publication (Plz look publication) through our interaction and collaboration. We also initiate a three regional cores of the International probiotic/ Immunobiotics Consortium (Fig.).
