Biografi/ Biography :
Dr. Vanitha Mariappan is an experienced researcher with a PhD (distinction) in the field of Medical Microbiology (focusing on bacterial pathogenesis) from the University of Malaya, Malaysia, and recipient of the National Science Fellowship from the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), Malaysia. She has received several other prestigious awards, including the Merck Young Scientist Award 2010 (First Prize - Bioscience Category), the Wellcome Trust Travel Grant for Young Investigators 2012, and Young Woman in Science 2018 (Venus Foundation, India). She also received several other fellowships, including the University of Malaya Bright Spark Fellowship, ASEAN-Republic of Korea Academic Exchange Programme 2014, and the Australia-APEC Women in Research Fellowship 2016. She has published nearly 60 publications in WoS, which include reviews and research articles (mostly Tier 1 or 2) in ISI journals.
She is also a principal investigator, co-investigator, and research mentor for postgraduate students on several projects associated with gram-negative bacterial pathogenesis (intracellular pathogens), cell biology, molecular biology, immunopathogenesis, proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, epidemiology, and bioinformatics. Currently, she`s working on elucidating the biofilm-associated antimicrobial resistance of intracellular gram-negative bacteria. Currently, she is a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Health Sciences, UKM.
