Biografi/ Biography :
Dr Hanafi is an Associate Professor at Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He graduated from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia with Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences (Hons.) in 2006 before pursuing his postgraduate study at Macquarie University, Sydney Australia and graduated with PhD in Molecular Neuroscience in 2012. Dr Hanafi was the recipient of IBRO/APRC Research Exchange Fellowship Award for 2015 where he went to Brain Mind Research Institute (BMRI), University of Sydney, Australia for his fellowship training. Dr Hanafi has a lot of interest in understanding how ageing affects the brain signalling and the molecular changes associated with brain ageing. He is currently investigating the molecular changes in the brain regions associated with cognitive functions by using state-of-the-art omics approaches. He is also working on a project that is looking at the effect of palm oil tocotrienol supplementation on the cognitive functions of transgenic Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mouse model. Apart from that, he is also interested to understand the effect of ageing in controlling feeding response. He has published many papers in peer-reviewed international journals including Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity (OMCL), Experimental Gerontology and PLoS One. He is currently the Associate Editor of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. He has several research grants and is currently involved in many research projects and supervision of undergraduate medical students and postgraduate students in UKM.
