Maqsudul Alam (Bengali: মাকসুদুল আলম; 14 December 1954 – 20 December 2014) was an East Bengal-born life-science scientist[1][2] who is known for his work on genome sequencing. His work on genome sequencing started with bacteria Idiomarina loihiensis in 2003.[3] He came into the focus of Bangladeshi people after his work on genome sequencing of jute species[4][5] and jute attacking fungus.[6]
