The credit for this accomplishment goes to Safayet Jamil, a dedicated student of the Master of Public Health (MPH) program at DIU’s Department of Public Health. His outstanding research has not only brought personal acclaim but also strengthened the university’s standing among the country’s leading research institutions at an international level.

Among more than 1,200 research papers published by DIU over the past year, Jamil’s article was uniquely recognized by the Nature Index for its exceptional quality and scientific contribution. This milestone reflects DIU’s ongoing commitment to advancing global research, nurturing innovation among students, and enhancing Bangladesh’s academic visibility internationally.
Beyond institutional recognition, this accomplishment has also opened promising career opportunities for Safayet Jamil. He has become eligible for the EB-1A fast-track U.S. green card, a prestigious status reserved for individuals with extraordinary research achievements. This distinction highlights the global reach and professional impact of DIU’s research community.
Dr. Md. Sabur Khan, Chairman of Daffodil International University, remarked that this success story represents more than just the achievements of a single researcher.
