BIOGRAPHY

My PhD in England was in the area of  Human Immunology using the Human model of Placenta to investigate mechanisms relating to the paradoxical successful transplantation of the fetal placental allograft onto the mother during a normal pregnancy. My initial research in dept of physiology, Universiti Malaya continues with Immunology  with a special interest in natural Physiologic autoantibodies. The data from this work has been well recognized with the invited single authorship of the book 'Immunophysiology of Antiphospholipid Antibodies'. The research continues to include nasopharygeal carcinoma, epitope mapping of EBV antigens, allergy. Since 2000, more attention was concentrated on free radical/antioxidant work, with the identification and and patenting of potent antioxidant components in the common rambutan skin.                                                                                                  My academic activity also includes a large portion of time devoted to helping students learn, identify misconceptions. This commitment has been followed by the publication of 17 Physiology Learning texts including a multi-authored Nursing Textbook on Aantomy/Physiology. Efforts to stimulate Physiology learning globally has birthed the International Inter-Med School Physiology Quiz, (IMSPQ) hosted annually in Universiti Malaya with the 9th IMSPQ in July 2011 seeing 48 medical schools from 18 countries. My focussed interest in Physiology Education has been recognized by the International Union for Physiological Sciences (IUPS) by the invitation to be part of the IUPS Plannign committee for the 2013 IUPS Congress in England.
