In 2017,  after completing my PhD at The University of Sydney, I joined the Pharmacology Department, Universiti Malaya as a senior lecturer. My research interest is in groups of molecules secreted during cellular stress, injury, and inflammation called damage-associated molecular pattern molecules (DAMPs). They have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases and cancer. My aim is to better understand their secretory pathway(s) and the mechanism(s) by which they contribute to cancer development and progression, especially in colorectal cancer. I hope that with more profound knowledge in these areas, more future studies will be conducted, paving the way for discovering novel pathways that can be targeted to combat cancer.  In addition to my interest in inflammation and cancer research, I am also passionate about teaching.  I am involved in teaching Pharmacology subjects for various Bachelor degree courses including Dentistry, Nursing, Medicine, and Biomedical Science. I am also the coordinator of Biomedical Science in the Pharmacology department. 

Dr Nor Nazrina Mohamad Nazry is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Education, Universiti Malaya (UM). She earned her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Sheffield, UK, and began her academic journey at UM in 2019. However, her involvement in the rapidly evolving field of education started much earlier, in 2006, as a research assistant in digital learning at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris. Her primary research focus is immersive learning, especially in pedagogies involving extended reality and the use of serious games for teaching and training. Additionally, she is passionate about related areas in instructional technology, such as computing education, human behaviour, and generative artificial intelligence for future learning. She has published numerous articles in WoS, Scopus, and peer-reviewed journals. Her recent research centres on inclusive digital instruction, virtual learning experiences, and technology applications for educational content. As the field coordinator for the Postgraduate Diploma in Education, she has actively trained pre-service teachers in engineering education, design and technology, and computer science. She is also a frequent trainer for extended reality workshops, a member of academic juries at innovation competitions, and a reviewer for international and local journals.

"Associate Professor Dr Loh Pui San is a Senior Consultant Anaesthesiologist and the Head of Department of Anaesthesiology, Faculty of Medicine, University Malaya. She specializes in the clinical field of transplant anaesthesia and perioperative medicine, in particular geriatric anaesthesia. A lecturer in University Malaya Medical Centre since 2011, she was also a Fellows in Australia and Cambridge, UK under the prestigious Commonwealth Medical Award. Dr Loh believes as the world population ages and increasingly more older individuals require surgery at the end of their lifetimes, this is a field that deserves attention with equal focus, similar to the other extreme of age in children. She hopes to build the field of geriatric anaesthesia with multidisciplinary colleagues working in both public and private institutions via her active involvement in the Malaysian Society of Anaesthesiologists, Fragility Fracture Network and Ministry of Health. She is part of an expert panel in the National Clinical Practice Guideline for Hip Fractures in the Elderly. Naturally, her research interest includes perioperative management of the elderly focusing on finding suitable risk assessment methods to institute early prevention and the effects of anaesthesia on neurocognitive function. By collaborating with both local and international investigators, Dr Loh hopes to increase the medical evidence in literature to provide the safest care for our older patients in the future"
