Biografi/ Biography :
I am currently the senior lecturer in the Department of Anatomy. I obtained my MB.BCh.BAO in 2000 from Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and M.Med.Sc (Anatomy) in 2010 from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. I was then conferred a PhD (Anatomy) from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in 2019. I am interested in the metabolic syndrome, in particular, obesity. I hope to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathological process of metabolic syndrome. I am also interested in the evaluation of different natural products in treating obesity and metabolic syndrome. In this research area, I look into the effects of different herbal extracts on the high carbohydrate and high fat diet-induced metabolic syndrome rats. We have tested Piper sarmentosum, tocotrienols and stingless bee honey, and found that these treatments reduced the visceral fat of the rats. We are currently looking into combining these treatments in combating metabolic syndrome. This might be able to increase the bioavailability and stability of the natural product and would be useful in the treatment of obesity as well as metabolic syndrome.
