Farhana Akter is a pharmacist, researcher, and academic with expertise in pharmaceutical chemistry, nanotechnology, antimicrobial research, and pharmaceutical sciences education. She earned her Bachelor of Pharmacy (Professional) and Master of Pharmacy (M.Pharm.) in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from the University of Dhaka, graduating with outstanding academic performance and receiving university scholarships for both degrees. Ms. Akter currently serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Pharmacy at East West University, Dhaka.
During her postgraduate studies, Ms. Akter conducted research on the synthesis and functional characterization of metallic nanoparticles against resistant bacterial strains at the University of Dhaka. Her research focused on developing nanoparticle-based antimicrobial strategies to address the growing challenge of bacterial resistance. In recognition of her academic and research excellence, she was awarded the prestigious National Science and Technology (NST) Fellowship (2020–2021).
Ms. Akter has authored and co-authored several scientific publications and conference papers in the fields of nanomedicine, antimicrobial research, pharmaceutical analysis, and natural product pharmacology. Her scholarly contributions include research on silver nanoparticles, antibiotic–nanoparticle conjugates, cosmetic product quality assessment.
