Dr. Sook Mei Khor holds a B.Sc. (Hons) degree in applied chemistry from the University of Malaysia (UKM) (2002). She continued her M.Sc. studies at UKM under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Yook Heng Lee and Prof. Dato' Dr. Musa Ahmad (2002-2004). Since completing her M.Sc. research, she served as an R&D chemist for two years before being assigned to the Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, UM (2006-2008) as a science officer. She moved to Sydney, Australia, in 2008 to pursue her Ph.D. after gaining industry experience through a Malaysian government scholarship (UM SLAI research fellowship). She received her Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia (2008–2011), under the guidance of Scientia Prof. Dr. John Justin Gooding (a highly regarded researcher and also a kind and awesome supervisor). She works in electrochemistry, focusing on enzyme/affinity biosensors and electrode surface modification. She currently leads a research group focused on the boundaries of analytical chemistry, analytical biochemistry, food safety and risk assessment and electroanalytical chemistry. She designs various types of (bio)sensors for real-world applications.
