BIOGRAPHY

Graduated from the University of Oxford with a DPhil in 2011, subsequently joining the Department of Immunology at the School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, as a Senior Lecturer. Promoted to Associate Professor in 2019 and appointed as Head of Department in 2022. Research is focused on tumor immunology and immune disorders, integrating computational predictions with wet-lab validations.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

My group focuses on applying machine learning and deep learning to transcriptomics, proteomics, and imaging datasets of cancers and immune disorders. These computational predictions are followed by wet-lab validations, including cell culture, flow cytometry, and RNA-seq. Our interdisciplinary approach aims to bridge the gap between computational predictions and experimental validations in tumor immunology and immunological disorders.
