Expert Profile


Mohd. Arifin bin Kaderi obtained his Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences (Hon) from University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and MSc in Chemical Pathology from University Science Malaysia (USM). He was a recipient of the Malaysian National Science Fellowship Award while working on his MSc research. He joined IIUM as an Assistant Lecturer upon completion of his MSc and was funded by the university and the Ministry of Higher Education to pursue his Ph.D. He obtained his Ph.D degree in Clinical Genetics from Uppsala University, Sweden in 2010.
Upon completion of his Ph.D he returned to his service as Assistant Professor at IIUM and was appointed as Deputy Dean (Postgraduate and Research) at the Kulliyyah of Allied Health Sciences. He was a recipient of the Promising Researcher Award in 2011 for his outstanding work and publication in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
He was appointed by the World-Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (WHO-IARC) as a postdoctoral fellow from 2012 to 2014 to work on the genetic cancer susceptibility of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). He conducted his research work at the WHO-IARC headquarters in Lyon, France.
Dr. Arifin resumed his duty at IIUM in 2014 as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, in addition to being the Head of Research at the Kulliyyah of Allied Health Sciences since September 2014.
