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. 

He received a bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia in 1995. Then, he joined Indonesian Aircraft Industries Ltd. (PT. IPTN/ Dirgantara Indonesia/ Indonesian-Aerospace Ltd), Bandung, Indonesia as a Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics engineer from 1995 to 1999. ALHAMDULILLAH, while working with PT. IPTN, he was given a sponsorship by the Ministry of National Education, Indonesia,for pursuing master degree in Mechanical Engineering at Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB), Indonesia (completed in 1998). In October 1999, he was awarded a prominent PhD studentship from the Queen Mary and Westfield Research Council, University of London, and ALHAMDULILLAH he successfully accomplished his PhD in Computational Mechanics in 2003.Prior to joining Universiti Tenaga Nasional, Malaysia, in July 2004, he was working as a visiting researcher at Inter University Center, Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB), Indonesia. In 2010, he joined University of Malaya, Malaysia, for the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Next, prior to joining University of Pertamina in 2019, he was working with Universiti Teknologi Brunei, Brunei Darussalam (in 2016). In 2025, ALHAMDULILLAH, he was very pleased to make a return to Universiti Malaya (Department of Mechanical Engineering), Malaysia.
