Built by a veterinarian, kept honest by pet owners.

Nurul is a Bangladeshi veterinarian and disease ecologist. He trained at Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (DVM, 2014) and Massey University, New Zealand (MVM, 2016), and is completing a PhD at the University of Wisconsin–Madison on how animal movement shapes disease risk.

For a decade he worked on the front line of animal and public health in Bangladesh: as a One Health epidemiology fellow with Massey University, as veterinary consultant at the Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR), and as technical advisor for the Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network, where he helped build the country's first field epidemiology training programme for veterinarians. He has investigated outbreaks of Nipah virus, anthrax and leptospirosis, taught outbreak investigation at CVASU, and co-authored peer-reviewed research on animal health in Bangladesh.

He is a member of the Bangladesh Veterinary Council and the Bangladesh Veterinary Association, the Wildlife Disease Association, and the IUCN Bat Specialist Group.

“In Bangladesh we check a doctor's degrees before we book. Pet owners deserve the same, and so do the vets who earned theirs. Vetofast exists to make that checking easy and honest.”
