Alfi Khatib obtained his BSc degree from Bogor Agricultural University, Indonesia. The Dutch government awarded the TALIS scholarship for his Master and PhD programmes in Pharmacognosy at Leiden University, the Netherlands. Upon completing his PhD in 2006, he joined Metabolomics Section at Leiden University as a postdoctoral researcher until August 2008. He moved to Universiti Putra Malaysia as a senior lecturer in September 2008 before joining the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Kulliyyah of Pharmacy, International Islamic University Malaysia, in March 2013. He won the Dutch New Venture Competition Round 2 in 2006 based on his PhD work on iso-alpha-acids purification. IIUM awarded him the Excellent Research Achievement Award for several consecutive years from 2017 to 2023. He has secured several research grants from the Malaysian government for his research on the standardization of natural products using metabolomics approach and purification of bioactive compounds from Malaysian plants. He has published more than 150 articles in peer-reviewed international journals (h-index > 35 ) and international patent.
