Dr. Muhammad Fazril Razif became a member of the Department of Molecular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine in 2014. He completed his undergraduate education at Murdoch University (Perth, Australia) in 2007 with a double degree in BSc (Biomedical Science/Molecular Biology) and BSc (Forensic Biology and Toxicology; Minor in Criminology). In 2009, he joined the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research to pursue his PhD research. After four years, he received his PhD from the School of Medicine and Pharmacology (University of Western Australia, Australia), with his project entitled “RNA-binding Proteins: Unraveling the code”. During his candidature, Dr. Fazril was shortlisted as a state-finalist for the AusBiotech-GSK Student Excellence Awards (2011) for his work. Dr. Fazril has worked on numerous research projects, including the expression and validation of synthetic proteins, genomics and transcriptomics studies on acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, diabetes and schizophrenia. In 2017, he joined the Medicinal Mushroom Research Group (MMRG) and has great interest in studying the genome, transcriptome and proteome of medicinal mushrooms. His current research also focuses on the expression of novel proteins found in medicinal mushrooms and their bioactivities via pre-clinical and clinical studies. Academically, he has spearheaded the development of three new courses in the Department. These are GIM2001 Body and Your Health; MIX3001 Techniques in Molecular Medicine and GDM0006 Global Trends in Food and Health. He
