As a clinical pharmacist, researcher, and lecturer, my career has been driven by a commitment to improving patient care through translational research and education. With a strong foundation in managing critically ill patients, particularly in infectious diseases, I developed a deep interest in pharmacokinetics and its role in optimizing drug therapy. This passion led me to bridge clinical practice with research, ensuring that scientific advancements translate into real-world benefits for patients. Teaching became a natural extension of this mission, allowing me to shape future pharmacists and researchers with a focus on evidence-based practice and patient-centered care. Today, I continue to integrate clinical expertise, research innovation, and education to advance pharmacy practice and improve health outcomes.

Dr. Loh Kar Hoe (K.-H. L.) is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Ocean and Earth Sciences (IOES), University of Malaya. He graduated with a B.Sc. majoring in aquaculture before pursuing his research in fish reproductive for his M.Sc. in NTOU, Taiwan. He obtained his Ph.D. in Fisheries Science from the NTOU in 2009 for doctoral work on taxonomy and molecular phylogeny of moray eels (Mureanidae). After his Ph.D., he spent one year at the Biodiversity Research Center, Academia Sinica, Taiwan as a postdoctoral researcher. He joined IOES July 2011 as a research fellow. He’s team have discovery eight new species eels (Gymnothorax pseudokidako 2021, Gymnothorax pseudomelanosomatus 2015, Neenchelys gracilis 2015, Pylorobranchus hoi 2012, Gymnothorax melanosomatus 2011, Uropterygius oligospondylus 2008, Gymnothorax taiwanensis 2008, Gymnothorax shaoi 2007), and a lot of new recorded fish from Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Japan, and Taiwan. In addition to studying Malaysian fish otoliths, he is also working on the fisheries assessment work on sharks and rays. A total of 47 ISI articles have been published, and 26 technical reports of the IUCN Sciaenidae Red List assessments in 2020. He has collaborative research on the genetic diversity, population genetics of marine organisms; Reef fish diversity and abundance in Malaysian water through DNA barcoding and eDNA in Malaysia. Another study focuses on microplastics in the gill and stomach of fish. He recently secured a research grant to “Resolving systematics of Cephalopods using morphological and molecular approaches in Malaysia”, and “Environment DNA matebarcoding illuminates the diversity of sharks and rays” funded by WWF-Malaysia.

Prof Dr. Ramesh T Subramaniam is a material scientist well known for his outstanding scholastic contribution on solutions for energy storage and harvesting devices for green energy and sustainable smart cities of tomorrow. The novelty of his research is the successful invention of highly adhesive polymer membranes, self-healable hydrogel electrolytes and electrodes using natural resources, environmentally friendly polymer electrolytes and techniques in the fabrication of green energy devices. Prof Dr. S. Ramesh is well recognized in his field, internationally and locally, evidenced by the many international and national awards he has received. The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) elected him as a TWAS Fellow in 2023. He is the First Malaysian to be elected as TWAS Fellow under the scientific field of Physics, Astronomy & Space Sciences. Subsequently, he was elected as Fellow of International Science Council (ISC) which recognizes individuals for their outstanding contributions to the promotion of science as a global public good. He has also received Pacifichem Young Scholar Award from the American Chemical Society, Young Scientist Award from IUPAC, IAP Young Scientist Award, TWAS Young Affiliate Fellow and ASEAN - China Scholar Award. He is an alumnus of the Global Young Academy (GYA) and Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). He was also conferred the Established Scientist Award by the Royal Society. In 2014 he was selected as the Top Research Scientists Malaysia (TRSM) and in the same year he received the “International Association of Advanced Materials Scientist Medal”. He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM), recipient of the Fulbright Fellowship with a tenure at Princeton University, USA, recipient of the Durham University “International Senior Research Fellowship” as Visiting Senior Fellow and a Distinguished Fellow of the Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS), Durham University since 2022. He is also a recipient of the Malaysia Toray Science Foundation Science & Technology Award and has been awarded the Universiti Malaya Excellent Lecturer (Sciences) Award 2019, Universiti Malaya Distinguished Researcher Award 2022 and UTAR Annual Research Excellence Award. The Nobel Committee for Physics on behalf of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences invited him as a nominator for “The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2021”. Stanford University recognized and placed him in World's Top 2% Scientists for Career-Long Citation Impact. Based on “Google Scholar’, he is ranked among the Top 1% in his field under the research titles “Polymer Electrolyte”, “Electrolyte” and “Electrochemical Devices”. In addition, he is the Principal Investigator for many interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary projects under Erasmus+ International Capacity Building projects. On the global front, he was recognized as the Invited Scientist for World Science Forum and World Economic Forum. He has won awards in many innovation exhibitions. Notably, he bagged the “Best Award for Best Invention in Technology Reversing Climate Change” in ITEX 2023, “Best of the Best Award - Asian Invention Excellence Award” in ITEX 2021 and BEST of the BEST Award during PECIPTA 2013. His major contribution to society is through the service and knowledge as a scholar of the ASM, Royal Society, RSC, GYA, TWAS, TYAN, IAP, Erasmus and IUPAC.
