Expert Profile


Tengku Haziyamin Tengku Abdul Hamid gained his B.Sc (Hons) in Biochemistry at University College Cork (UCC), Ireland in 1995 and his MSc (Food & Agricultural Biotechnology) at University of Reading, United Kingdom in 1996. In 2009, he received his PhD (Enzyme Technology) at University Putra Malaysia (UPM).  He was appointed the Head of Department (2009-2010), and then Deputy Dean Academic (2010-2014) for Kulliyyah of Science. Later, he was appointed as Head at Research Management Center (RMC), for IIUM Kuantan Campus for 2017. He has been invited as reviewer for numerous manuscripts, including those of Scopus and WoS. He has regularly been appointed as external examiners for Msc and Phd theses from Universities throughout Malaysia. Since 2019, he has been appointed as Vice President for Malaysian Society for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (MasBic). He is also a lifetime member of the Asian Federation of Biotechnology (AFOB), and also an MBOT Professional Technologist (Ts). His expertise is in screening of microbial enzymes, with an interest in using protein engineering approach to understand their biological roles. His passion in anti-microbial proteins has also inspired his work in microbial screenings for probiotic organisms and anti-microbial protein they produced. Among the subjects, he teaches Protein Biotechnology, Principle of Biochemistry, Enzymology, Research Methodology and Commercialization & Current Issues in Biotechnology. As part of his research work in probiotic, his recent discovery on a novel strain has enabled a new patent being drafted and awarded with Gold in Malaysian Technology Expo 2021 for his a probiotic prototype ProAquaVcare. Works has been on-going since then in developing this strain into full commercial use.
