Dr. Nurzatil Sharleeza is a senior lecturer at Department of Science and Technology Studies, Faculty of Science, Universiti Malaya. She obtained her Bachelor and Doctoral degrees in the field of Biotechnology from The University of Queensland, Australia. During her studies, she received multiple research scholarships, including University of Queensland Summer Research Scholarship (2009/2010) and (2010/2011), and UQ IMB Undergraduate Research Award (2010), and was selected as a member of Advanced Studies Program in Science (ASPinS) - which is a highly selective program for UQ undergraduates. Earning these awards gave Dr Nurzatil an opportunity to involve in multidisciplinary research projects related to membrane-targetting vancomycin and carbapenem derivatives tagged with short peptides and lipophilic elements, photosensitisers for cancer imaging and nanopolymers for siRNA delivery.Due to her passion in technology commercialization, she pursued Doctor of Biotechnology and secured an internship position at UniQuest (Australia) and IBD (Malaysia). She then was offered a position as a postdoctoral research fellow at CEBAR UM for 2.5 years and then she worked at the Academy of Sciences Malaysia as a project manager for the Malaysia Open Science Platform (MOSP). Although no longer managing the Project, Dr Nurzatil is still attached to Open Science as an ex-officio member of MOSP Alliance, and a member of UM Open Science Steering Committee and the UM Open Science Coordinator. Dr Nurzatil was a member of Global Young Academies Working Group on Open Science, and led the FAIR Data Stewardship Guidelines for Reproducibility in Biodiversity Research project. Currently, she is a member of International Data Policy Committee (IDPC) CODATA and a member of OPEN ASIA ERASMUS+ project.  Dr Nurzatil's research interests include social and governance of emerging technology, food systems, and Responsible Research Innovation.
