  •    Biografi/ Biography :

  • As a pioneer in Metabolomics field in Malaysia, her research is focused on the new insight of analytical and biological perspectives of the metabolomics in the field of systems biology, in particularly on the understanding of secondary metabolite production in local herbs plant as well as fluxomics studies of Lactococcus lactis. In metabolomics research, pipeline of analytical tools and multivariate analysis using PCA is essential for the dynamic high throughput analysis. This frontier analysis which includes mathematical modelling has provided glimpse of cellular biology and fingerprint of functional network in the model organism in her lab. She has published over 120 peer-reviewed indexed articles in international journals and more than 40 local and international conference proceedings in aquaculture, microbiology and metabolomics. Her work has been awarded prestigious awards including BioInnovation Awards, 2011 and Selangor My Innovation Award, 2014. She also was awarded as Visiting Lecturer to Chulalongkorn University, Thailand in 2017. She played a leading role as Malaysia representative in Asia-Oceania Metabolomics Forum (AOMF). She also engaged in collaborative partnership with industry such as FGV Sdn. Bhd., AAR Sdn. Bhd., Leave a Nest Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. and Orchid Life Sdn. Bhd. to take further steps to commercialization.
