Dr. Nurhafiza Binti Zainal is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Medical Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaya. She holds a Dual PhD in Medical Microbiology from Universiti Malaya and Medicine from National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan. Additionally, she earned an MRes in Biotechnology from Imperial College London, United Kingdom, and a bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from Universiti Malaya. Her areas of expertise include immunology and virology. Dr. Nurhafiza’s research explores the intricate relationship between viruses and the host immune response, particularly the role of host protein expression and genetic factors in shaping disease outcomes. Her work also investigates mechanisms such as cross-reactive immunity and antibody-dependent enhancement to improve vaccine development and antiviral strategies. She has served as both Principal Investigator and Co-Researcher on numerous national-level research grants, including projects under the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), MOSTI, and Universiti Malaya internal funding schemes. Dr. Nurhafiza is also the recipient of the prestigious IEIF International Education Innovation Fund – ASEAN Research Collaboration Project, hosted by The University of Adelaide. Her awarded project focuses on the development and evaluation of inactivated vaccines for viral diseases, with potential applications in animal health. In addition to her scientific research, Dr. Nurhafiza is involved in interdisciplinary initiatives such as One Health programs and sustainability-focused projects related to menstrual health and environmental responsibility

Rozie Sarip, originally from Shah Alam, Selangor, completed her BSc in 2004 and MSc in 2007 at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). She earned her PhD in Inorganic Chemistry in 2012 from University College London, working with Dr. Graeme Hogarth FRSC and Prof. Gopinathan Sankar FRSC. Rozie began her career at SIRIM Bhd. as an Associate Researcher in August 2006 before becoming a Research Officer at the Institute for Medical Research (IMR) in Kuala Lumpur. After completing her PhD, she returned to IMR for another year and then joined the University of Malaya (UM) as a lecturer on March 10, 2014. She is a member of both the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Institut Kimia Malaysia. Her research focuses on: - Binuclear and cluster chemistry - Homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis - Synthesis of phosphines and diphosphines stabilized clusters - Synthesis of thiazoline derivatives Rozie's group studies the chemistry of transition metals, emphasizing the synthesis of new transition metal complexes using NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Their research includes designing new ligands and developing nanomaterials, with applications in catalysis and bio-inorganic fields, such as drug delivery systems and anti-cancer treatments. They collaborate widely with various local and international partners. Clusters, which contain three or more metal ions, are central to her research, particularly low-valent compounds that exhibit unique properties when combining different metal ions. Their work aims to leverage these compounds as precursors for metal nanoparticles, with a recent achievement in synthesizing small gold nanoparticles from gold-phosphine clusters. They also study the interface between large clusters and small nanoparticles to gain insights into their properties.
