In 1982 Anwar was awarded a Monbukagakusho Scholarship with which he pursued doctoral studies at Kyoto University, Japan under the supervision of Kozi Asada. His Ph.D. thesis was titled "Photosynthesis: Plant's Defence Mechanism Against Photo-Oxidative Damage” and was awarded the degree in 1985. He became an Assistant Professor at 1985 and Associate Professor at 1990. From 1994 to till date he is working as a Selection Grade Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Dhaka. He was Chairman of the Department from 2001–2003. Hossain was elected as Dean of the Biological Sciences and the Founding Project Director of Dhaka University's Department of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering.[10] He has, in the past, served as the elected General Secretary and President of the Dhaka University Teachers' Association (DUTA) for multiple terms.[11][12] Professor Hossain was elected as the Vice-Chancellor of Jahangirnagar University (JU) on 17 July 2012, a position which he served till January 2014.[13]

Research career

Hossain has conducted research with world renowned plant scientists, among whom are Joseph C. Arthur Distinguished Professor of Plant Physiology and Emeritus Professor of Botany and Plant Pathology of Purdue University Thomas K Hodges, Japanese plant physiologist and Professor Emeritus of Kyoto University Kozi Asada, former president of the Australian Academy of Science Jim Peacock and Professor Kamaluddin Ahmad. With over 1400 citations, Hossain is one of the most cited plant scientists in Bangladesh.[14] His works have appeared in premier scientific journals including the Journal of Biological Chemistry, Plant Physiology, Plant Molecular Biology and Plant and Cell Physiology.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Hossain serves in the Editorial Board of Bioresearch Communications.[22] After his PhD he returned to Bangladesh for 2–3 years, and then again went to Kyoto Prefectural University as a part of a Biotechnology Career Fellowship Program (1987–1990). This time he studied plant genetic engineering.

From 1991 to 1994 and 1995–1996 he worked at Purdue University, USA and Kyoto University, Japan respectively as visiting scientist (Full-time professor) during which he worked for developing submergence (flood) tolerant rice.

Awards

  1. Japanese Monbusho Scholarship in 1982
  2. University Grants Commission (UGC) Award 1985 for the research paper entitled, 'Monodehydroascorbate reductase from cucumber is a flavin adenine dinucleotide enzyme' which was adjudged as the best publication in 1985 in fundamental research in the field of Biological Sciences in Bangladesh.
  3. The Rockefeller Foundation Biotechnology Career Fellowship in 1987.
  4. The Rockefeller Foundation Visiting Scientist Fellowship in 1991.
  5. Justice Ibrahim Gold Medal for the year 1993 for outstanding research in Biological Sciences.
  6. Visiting Professorship in Kyoto University, Japan in 1995.

Literature

Hossain's columns have appeared in leading national dailies such as bdnews24, Janakantha, Kaler Kantha, and Samakal.[23] He has written four books.
