Dr. M Azmain Iktidar
MBBS, MPH (Epidemiology), MD Candidate
Co-founder, School of Research
About
I am a clinician-researcher with a keen interest in how research is taught and practiced. I co-founded the School of Research to address a critical void in the academic landscape: the lack of practical, palatable, and accessible research training for those new to the field. What began as an initiative to empower scholars in Bangladesh has since expanded into a global community, providing early-career researchers with the tools they need to succeed. To date, I have had the privilege of training thousands of research enthusiasts in research methodology and data analysis.
