Luluel Maknun Fariha is a Lecturer at the School of Pharmacy, Brac University, where she has been teaching since March 2022. She graduated with distinction in both her BPharm and MPharm from North South University and holds an MSc in Clinical Pharmacology with distinction from the University of Glasgow.
Her research interests center on cardiovascular biology and diseases, focusing on key areas such as hypertension, thrombosis, atherosclerosis, and dyslipidemia. With a commitment to advancing precision medicine, Fariha aims to develop targeted therapies for cardiovascular conditions using gene editing, cell therapy, nucleic acid drugs, and protein therapeutics. She is dedicated to translating foundational research into novel treatments that can support personalized care for cardiovascular patients. Currently, she is also investigating phytochemicals derived from plant extracts, assessing their anticancer, antidiabetic, and antioxidant properties.
In addition to her research, Fariha has been conducting workshops on systematic reviews at BRAC University for the past two years, helping students develop skills for evidence-based analysis and synthesis. She also serves as the one of the chief Editors of Pharma Highlights, the School of Pharmacy's newsletter, overseeing the publication of scholarly content by students.
