Current Post: Associate Prof and Deputy Dean of Centre for Postgraduates Studies
FIELD OF EXPERTISE: Applied Microbiology, Phylogenetic studies, Bio-based Product
Development and Intellectual Property Management
RESEARCH INTEREST
My research interest is focused on microbes and animal phylogenetic diversity, microbial
proteases, fruit and pollen extractions, use of microbes and fruits in industrial application and
drug discovery.
My interest in intellectual Property management is mainly on university management and
commercialization of their IP. I was involved in several negotiation of IP commercialization
between local university and the industries in Malaysia.
My interest in IP management leads to my interest in product development which is the
overall process of strategy, organization, concept generation, product and marketing plan
creation and evaluation, and commercialization of a new product. I am very keen on biobased product such as food, cosmetic and drug. I am also very keen to work with researchers
and entrepeneurs in improving old product and developing new product.
