Md. Fahim Ather - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Md. Fahim Ather is a researcher affiliated with the Infectious Diseases Division at icddr,b in Dhaka, Bangladesh. His research primarily focuses on infectious diseases, with a particular emphasis on tuberculosis (TB) and its treatment. His work contributes significantly to understanding TB epidemiology, drug resistance, and diagnostic methods, particularly within the context of Bangladesh.

Research Contributions

Md. Fahim Ather has made notable contributions to the field of infectious diseases, particularly in tuberculosis research. His studies have explored the performance of WHO-endorsed rapid tests for drug susceptibility, the genetic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the immunophenotyping of T-cell subsets during TB treatment. His work also investigates the correlation of specific genetic mutations with drug resistance and the efficacy of diagnostic assays like the Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra in detecting TB in challenging clinical scenarios. These contributions are crucial for advancing TB diagnosis, treatment, and understanding the molecular epidemiology of drug-resistant TB strains in Bangladesh.

Aliases

Md. Fahim Ather is also known by other names, including Md F Ather and Md Fahim Ather. These aliases are used interchangeably in his publications and academic references.
