Maqsudul Alam (14 December 1954 – 20 December 2014) was a Bangladeshi-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 tosha jute (Corchorus olitorius O4) in 2010,[4] white jute (Corchorus capsularis CVL1) in 2013[5] and jute attacking fungus (Macrophomina phaseolina) in 2012.[6]

Alam also worked on genome sequencing of transgenic papaya (Carica papaya Linnaeus) in 2007,[7] rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) in 2009,[8] bacteria Methylacidiphilum infernorum in 2007,[9] Methylocella silvestris BL2 in 2009,[10] Saprospira grandis str. Lewin in 2011,[11] Geobacillus thermoleovorans CCB_US3_UF5 in 2011,[12] Thermus sp. strain CCB_US3_UF1 in 2011,[13][14] Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Serovar Typhi P-stx-12 in 2011,[15] Thermomyces lanuginosus Strain SSBP[16] and Pantoea anthophila in 2014.[17]

Early life

Alam was born in Madaripur, Bangladesh. His parents were Dalil Uddin Ahmed, a martyr of the 1971 Liberation War and an official of East Pakistan Rifles; and Lyrian Ahmed, a teacher, and social worker.[1]

Personal life

Alam married Irina Anatolievna during his stay in Russia. Alam was a Ph.D student and Anatolievna was a medical student at that time. The couple had one daughter named Liliana Maqsudulovna Alam (born 1986). In 1992, the family moved to United States. The couple was divorced in 1997.[18]

Alam later married Rafia Hasina in 2009.

Education

Alam completed secondary and higher secondary education from Government Laboratory High School and Dhaka College, respectively. He completed his Master’s in Microbiology from Moscow State University in 1979; and earned his first Ph.D degree in Microbiology from the same university in 1982. He earned his second Ph.D in Biochemistry from Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in 1987.[1][2]

Academic career

From 1988-1990, Alam was a senior research scientist at Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of Russian Academy of Sciences. Then he was a visiting scientist of department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at Washington State University from 1990-1992. Alam was an assistant director of Marine Bioproducts Engineering Center (MarBEC) at University of Hawaii.

In 1992, Alam joined the department of Microbiology at University of Hawaii, Manoa as an assistant professor. In 1997, he was promoted to associate professor. Alam became full professor in 2001, a position which he held until his death. He was also the Director of Advanced Studies in Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics at University of Hawaii, Manoa from 2003 to until his death.[1][2]

Alam was the director of Centre for Chemical Biology at Universiti Sains Malaysia from 2009-2012.[2] In 2011, Alam became a member of advisory board at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), Sylhet.

Scientific career

Idiomarina loihiensis Genome Project

In 2003, Alam set up the Advanced Studies in Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics (ASGPB) keeping in mind the end goal to give a common asset to these developing fields at University of Hawaii at Manoa. Consolidating the DNA sequencing framework of ASGPB with the bioinformatic assets at the Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC), he ran a Computational Proteomics program that secured the range of wet lab research to in silico informatics.[2]

Alam and his team completed the genome sequencing of Idiomarina loihiensis,[3] an ancient organism found in the hydrothermal vents of Loihi during a University of Hawaii expedition in 2003.[19]

Hawaii Papaya Genome Project

In 2007, Alam worked in the Hawaii Papaya Genome Project which aimed to sequence complete genome of the transgenic 'SunUp' papaya. The SunUp papaya was genetically modified to confer resistance to the Papaya ringspot virus. But Hawaii farmers could not sell the transgenic papaya in Japan, so Alam and his team sequenced the transgenic papaya to help the farmers get through the regulatory process.[20][7]

Patents while at University of Hawaii at Manoa

  • Heme proteins hemAT-Hs and hemAT-Bs and their use in medicine and microsensors. US Patent No. 7,129,329. 31 Oct. 2006[21]

Malaysia Rubber Tree Genome Project

After papaya Alam went to set up the Center for Chemical Biology at Universiti Sains Malaysia in 2009. There he established research facilities, research programs, and worked on genome sequencing of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis).[8]

Bangladesh Jute Genome Project

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Alam (2nd from right) in a press conference (2010) announcing completion of jute genome sequencing.

Alam wanted to do something important for his motherland. He hoped genome sequencing of a cash crop like jute would help Bangladesh economically because jute can be made disease resistant if the genome sequence is known. So in 2009, Alam joined the Basic and Applied Research on Jute Project of Jute Research Institute, Bangladesh, as principal investigator. His team worked on genome sequencing of tossa jute (Corchorus olitorius O4)[4] in 2010, a jute attacking fungus (Macrophomina phaseolina)[6] in 2012 and white jute (Corchorus capsularis CVL1)[5] in 2013.[1] In 2010, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina publicly announced that jute genome had been decoded and several patent application would be filed.[33][34] Multiple patent applications were filed and earned from the jute project of Bangladesh.
