Expert Profile
Dr. Azran Azhim obtained his BEng , MEng in Electrical & Electronic Engineering and Dr. Eng in System Engineering from the University of Tokushima, Japan. Upon completion of his Ph.D, he joined the Tokyo Denki University, Japan in 2008 as an Assistant Professor. For his outstanding pioneering work in Bio-signal and Tissue Engineering in Japan, he was the recipient of the Young Investigator Award, Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering in November 2011.
In 2012, he joined Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology, University Technology Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur as a senior lecturer, where he focused on working ondecellularization of tissue to prepare bio-scaffolds using novel sonication treatment method . As of 2014, he has patented his invention on Apparatus and Method for Decellularizing Biological Tissues. In 2014, he received his second Ph.D in Medical Sciences from the University of Tokyo, Japan. His continuous effort towards this area received widespread recognition and he was awarded the 2014 Takeda Young Entrepreneurship Award by Takeda Foundation, Japan in February 2015.
His work has been profiled in more than 80 publications including Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering, Journal of Biomaterials Applications and Journal of Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering. He has consulted for a number of private and public sector clients, both local and international and continues to be available for short-term projects. When he was at UTM Kuala Lumpur, he received and lead ten national grants, two industry grants and one international grant.
Presently, Dr.Azran Azhim is an Associate Professor at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Kulliyyah of Allied Health Sciences and Deputy Dean (Kuantan Campus) of Centre for Postgraduate Studies. His current research interests are on Regenerative Medicine, Tissue Engineering and Biomedical Engineering.
