He completed his renal pathology training at Nagasaki University School of Medicine and worked as a consultant of renal pathology at Riyadh Military Hospital in Saudi Arabia. As a faculty representative from Harvard University, Dr. Razzaque took part in the Human Resources for Health (HRH) Program in Rwanda, a global health initiative aimed at enhancing the quality and quantity of health professionals in Rwanda by fostering collaboration between a group of U.S. academic institutions, including Harvard Medical School, and the Government of Rwanda. Additionally, during his time as a Visiting Professor, he provided instruction and established research partnerships at Antwerpen University in Belgium, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, and Ahmet Yesevi University in Kazakhstan.
Dr. Razzaque's primary research focus is to comprehend the mechanisms behind disease conditions related to the abnormal regulation of phosphate homeostasis, such as chronic kidney disease, vascular calcification, and premature aging. Additionally, Dr. Razzaque aims to reveal the novel physiological regulation of phosphate by the bone-kidney axis. His research is financially supported by the National Institutes of Health (USA), and Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (Japan).
Dr. Razzaque is currently serving as an Editor for various journals, including Histochemistry and Cell Biology, Frontiers in Endocrinology, Acta Histochemica et Cytochemica, and Medical Molecular Morphology.
