Biografi/ Biography :
M. Aiman Mohtar is a Research Fellow at the UKM Medical Molecular Biology Institute (UMBI), The National University of Malaysia. He previously earned his BSc. (Biotechnology) with highest honours from Rochester Institute of Technology, New York and MSc. (Molecular Biology) from University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. He completed his PhD in Molecular and Clinical Medicine at Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine, University of Edinburgh. His PhD thesis focuses on identification of protein-protein interaction network of an oncogenic ER-resident protein. He has been trained as molecular biologist for more than a decade and has involved in research utilizing cutting- edge laboratory techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing tools, fluorescence microscopy, phage display and quantitative proteomics. Aiman’s current research focus is studying protein-protein interaction and tumour cell secretory addiction in AGR2 signalling axis using multi-omics approach and developing therapeutic tools targeting pro-oncogenic molecules. To date, he has secured several UKM, national and international grants.
