Dr. Amena Khatun

Dr. Amena Khatun is an Associate Professor of Plant Biotechnology and Pathology at Noakhali Science and Technology University, Bangladesh. She earned her PhD in Plant Pathology from the University of Adelaide, Australia, where her research focused on cell wall biosynthesis and antimicrobial peptide interactions in Phytophthora cinnamomi. Dr. Khatun’s research expertise spans plant–microbe interactions, molecular diagnostics, and protein biochemistry, including RNA-Seq analysis, assay development, and pathogen detection. She has extensive experience in culturing Phytophthora, fungi, and bacteria, and employs advanced molecular and imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy, HPLC, and GC–MS. Her current research focuses on plant growth-promoting bacteria, biocontrol agents, PGPR consortia, Halotolerant PGPR, and the development of eco-friendly strategies for sustainable disease management in crops under stress conditions. She loves nature, hills, travelling, birding and rain.
