ABOUT ARF

We help our clients build value digital web solutions

Asperia Health Research and Development Foundation (ARF) is actively building a dynamic network of scientists and research institutions from Chattogram, Dhaka, and across the globe. With the aim of advancing science and healthcare in Bangladesh, ARF is bringing together renowned experts and thought leaders from both national and international arenas to foster collaboration and innovation.

In its commitment to capacity building, ARF is also set to introduce specialized training programs for medical professionals, clinicians, and biomedical researchers. These programs will emphasize critical areas within biomedical science and biotechnology—fields where significant gaps exist in Bangladesh and other developing nations. Through these initiatives, ARF seeks to bridge those gaps and drive meaningful progress in healthcare and scientific research.

Although ARF principally aims to introduce studies on inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) including diagnosis of IEM, focus is also given on other genetic disorders including Down Syndrome, hereditary neuro-degenerative diseases like Huntington’s disease, congenital hypothyroidism, thalassemia etc. as well as on infectious diseases including respiratory infections, Hepatitis E virus infections, rapid diagnosis of typhoid fever, molecular diagnosis of ETEC diarrhoea and diarrhoeal diseases as well as molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance in acute respiratory and enteric infections.

In addition, ARF is committed to carrying out humanitarian and research programs for devising pragmatic solutions to public health problems encountered here in Bangladesh; strengthening local scientific capacity and encouraging innovations; facilitating and organizing scientific training programs and arranging seminars, symposia and conference for carrying out academic discourses to address local, regional and global health issues.
