Biography

I obtained my Ph.D degree in Biological Sciences from the National University of Singapore. After graduation I did my post-doctoral training in Singapore, United States and United Kingdom prior to joining Division of Biomedical Science at the 糖心原创 Malaysia as Assistant Professor. My research interests have been trying to understand the role(s) of mitochondrial function and oxidative stress in cardiovascular pathophysiology. I am well-trained in biochemical techniques and specialized surgical procedures in rodents. I welcome research collaborations related to obesity, diabetes, hypertension and vascular biology. Besides, I am interested to understand the biological functions of metal oxide nanoparticles.

Teaching Summary

I am currently involved in teaching the following modules;-

Year 1

LIFE1058 Human Anatomy, Development and Histology

Year 2

LIFE2088 Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics

LIFE2111 Biochemistry

Year 3

LIFE3126 Clinical Biochemistry

LIFE3089 Biomedical Science Final Year Project

I am the module convener for the following modules:-

LIFE2111 Biochemistry

LIFE3126 Clinical Biochemistry

Research Summary

Current research focus on using mitochondrial bioenergetics to address issues related to obesity, diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular physiopathology. Besides, I am using mitochondrial function… read more
