Dr. Saw is an AI researcher specializing in healthcare applications, with a keen interest in leveraging machine learning and bioinformatics to improve disease detection and management. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from Universiti Malaya in 2013, followed by the President’s Graduate Fellowship from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2015, which supported her doctoral research in artificial intelligence-driven healthcare solutions. Following her Ph.D., Dr. Saw worked as a Research Scientist at the Bioinformatics Institute, Agency for Science, Technology and Research (BII, A*STAR), Singapore, under the mentorship of Dr. Hwee Kuan Lee. Her work focused on integrating AI, deep learning, and computational modeling to advance precision medicine and medical diagnostics. Dr. Saw has since returned to Universiti Malaya, where she continues to explore cutting-edge AI methodologies for healthcare applications, particularly in early disease detection, predictive modeling, and clinical decision support systems. Her research aims to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and real-world medical challenges, developing innovative solutions that enhance patient outcomes and optimize healthcare delivery.

Dr. Kee Boon Pin graduated with Bachelor of Biomedical Science degree in 2007 and Doctorate degree in 2014 from University of Malaya. He is currently serving as a senior lecturer at the department of Biomedical Science, Faculty of Medicine. Dr. Kee’s areas of expertise are molecular genetics, population genetics and mitochondrial DNA. Dr. Kee carries out genetic association study to investigate the relationship between genetic markers and the onset of disease in Crohn’s disease and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus patients. Currently, he also received several funding for genetic study of Cardiomyopathy, in which he employs various molecular approaches to examine and characterize the genetic composition of patients, including next-generation sequencing approaches. Other than that, Dr. Kee also works on the identification and differentiation of microorganisms using various molecular techniques, such as TaqMan chemistry, high resolution melt curve analysis, and Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Dr. Kee is experienced to examine and analyze genomic data generated from markers in different DNA systems, including mitochondrial DNA, autosomal and sex chromosomes, using biostatistical method, phylogenetic analysis, principle component analysis and diversity index analysis. 

Dr. Najah Md Alwi is a Senior Lecturer at Universiti Malaya specialising in sustainable architecture, building design urban studies, and environmental-social sustainability in the built environment. With over fifteen years of international experience in New Zealand, Malaysia, and the UK, she focuses on biophilic design, energy-efficient buildings, and inclusive urban spaces. Holding a PhD in Social Science (Architecture & Urban Landscape) and a Master's in Sustainable Design,she actively collaborates with industry and policymakers to advance climate resilience and net-zero buildings. Dr Najah is also Green Building Index (GBI)-accredited professional, a current PAM ESG Committee member, and a Council Member of EUROPH for Human Habitat & Settlement. Dr. Najah is part of the research supervision team at Universiti Malaya. Interchangeably a member of the Green Sustainable Architecture Lab (GSAL) and Urban Community Architecture Lab (UCAL), she contributes to sustainable design innovations and advocates for low-carbon, future, and social well-being. Currently her research centres on circular economy and green infrastructure technologies. She also welcomes PhD and Master’s students interested in exploring innovative approaches to sustainable design and urban planning. Students who wish to explore the intersection of economical, environmental, social, and cultural sustainability in architecture and urban spaces are encouraged to apply.
