Biografi/ Biography :
Zulkarnain Md Idris adalah seorang Pensyarah Kanan di Jabatan Parasitologi dan Entomologi Perubatan, Fakulti Perubatan, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Beliau memperoleh PhD dalam bidang Perubatan dari Karolinska Institutet di Stockholm, Sweden. Beliau memberi penumpuan penyelidikan dalam aspek epidemiologi dan penularan jangkitan parasit, khususnya malaria. Sebelum ini, beliau telah terlibat dalam penyelidikan dan saringan malaria Plasmodium falciparum dan Plasmodium vivax secara molekul dan serologi, termasuk di kawasan endemik di Kenya, Afrika, dan di Vanuatu, Oceania. Semasa pengajian diperingkat PhD, beliau telah menerima beberapa penghargaan, terutamanya dana dari Swedish Initiative di atas sumbangan beliau dalam memperbaiki kaedah memerangi penyakit berjangkit di negara-negara sedang membangun. Penyelidikan semasa beliau kini merangkumi pelbagai aspek kajian malaria, termasuk epidemiologi, jangkitan tanpa gejala dan submikroskopik, dan pemodelan transmisi jangkitan, khususnya dalam kalangan komuniti Orang Asli di Malaysia. Untuk itu, beliau bekerjasama dengan Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, dan universiti-universiti antarabangsa seperti di Sweden, Thailand, Jepun, Indonesia, UK dan USA. Sebagai ahli aktif Persatuan Parasitologi dan Perubatan Tropika Malaysia (MSPTM) dan Rangkaian Malaria Sweden, beliau telah menerbitkan banyak artikel penyelidikan dalam jurnal berimpak tinggi dan berkhidmat sebagai penilai untuk pelbagai jurnal antarabangsa.
Zulkarnain Md Idris is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Parasitology and Medical Entomology at the Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He earned his PhD in Medicine from Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. His research focuses on the epidemiology and transmission of parasitic infections, particularly malaria. He has worked on molecular- and sero-surveillance of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax malaria in diverse epidemiological settings, including moderate to high endemic areas in Kenya, Africa, and pre-elimination areas in Vanuatu, Oceania. During his doctoral studies, he received several accolades, notably the World Infection Fund Award from the Swedish Initiative, for his contributions to improving methods of combating infectious diseases in developing countries. His current research encompasses various aspects of malaria, including epidemiology, asymptomatic and submicroscopic infections, and modelling, particularly among indigenous communities in Malaysia. He collaborates with the Ministry of Health, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, and international universities in Sweden, Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, the UK, and the USA. An active member of the Malaysian Society of Parasitology and Tropical Medicine (MSPTM) and the Swedish Malaria Network, he has published numerous research articles in high-impact journals and serves as a reviewer for various international journals.
