Diana Rose MAMAWAL (ダイアナローズママワル)

Researcher (going to be Ph.D. student)
（博士後期進学予定）

I’m interested in exploring how antibiotic resistant bacteria found in water environments are genetically related to strains originating from humans and animals using comparative genome analysis.

Md. Zafrul Islam (イスラムムハマッドザッフル)

Researcher (going to be Ph.D. student)
（博士後期進学予定）

My work investigates the dissemination of ARGs from hospital wastewater systems into downstream surface water environments, aiming to better understand the dynamics of resistance spread across interconnected ecosystems.
