Expert Profile
Following her graduation in Bioinformatics at the University of Malaya in 2005, she worked at the same university for one year as a tutor in the Department of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Then, she moved to University of East Anglia to do a MSc degree in Bioinformatics in September 2006. During her three-month MSc dessertation, she worked at the Genome Centre, John Innes Centre, Norwich. In 2008, she returned to Malaysia and worked a the Centre of Research in Computational Sciences and Informatics for Biology, Bioindustry, Environment, Agriculture and Healthcare (CRYSTAL), University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur for one year as a research assistant. Then, she was awarded the Yayasan Khazanah - Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies Merdeka Scholarship to read for a D.Phil in Biochemistry under supervision of Prof Mark Sansom, the leader of the Structural Biology and Computational Biochemistry (SBCB) group in the Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford. She completed her study with a D.Phil in Biochemistry awarded on 13 August 2014. She joined IIUM in November 2014, and now she is a lecture at the Department of Biotechnology, Kulliyyah of Science, IIUM Kuantan Campus.
