  Professor Dr Puteri Shafinaz Abdul Rahman received her tertiary education at the University of Malaya. She was awarded by the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Commission United Kingdom, a Split-site Doctorate scholarship to pursue her PhD (Proteomics) at Nottingham Trent University and the University of Malaya. She completed her PhD in 2007 and, shortly after, joined the Department of Molecular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine. Dr. Puteri is a founding member of the Universiti Malaya Centre for Proteomic Research (UMCPR), and she is currently heading the centre. She is actively involved in research and has published over 50 referred publications, with an H index of 14 (WOS). In addition, she receives numerous research grants with a cumulative total of > RM2.5 million as Principal Investigator and collaborative investigator capacity. Since 2009, 8 Masters and 8 PhDs have successfully completed their studies under her guidance. Currently, there 2 Masters and 3 PhDs under her supervision. Dr. Puteri is the Head of the Unit for Central Research Laboratories, a designated facility with state-of-the-art proteomics and genomics research equipment at the Faculty of Medicine. Considering her vast experience in research management, she has also held several administrative posts under the DVC Research & Innovation portfolio. She was appointed Deputy Dean of the Innovative Technology Research Cluster (2015-2018), Deputy Dean of Frontiers of the Natural World Research Cluster (2019-2021) and a reviewer for evaluating various grants at the national and international level. She previously held the position of the Coordinator of the Research Project Monitoring Section under the Research Management Centre Universiti Malaya (2022-2024). In terms of research, as a molecular biologist and proteomic scientist, Dr. Puteri's primary expertise is in comparative proteomics. Her team employs proteomic platforms to develop proteome profiles of biological samples. By comparing the generated proteome profiles (e.g. disease vs non-disease state, treated vs untreated, different stages or time-points), dysregulated or aberrant proteins of interest are detected and identified via mass spectrometry approaches. Using this workflow, her team has analysed profiles of sera from cancer patients with gynaecological, nasopharyngeal and bone cancers in search of potential biomarkers for the detection of cancers at an early stage. Dr. Puteri was acknowledged for her work on proteomics of gynaecological cancer when she was selected as the first prize winner of the coveted Merck Young Scientist Award in 2008. In addition to cancer biomarker studies, her team has utilised proteomics technologies for studies on natural products and herbal medicine to understand the benefits of these extracts/compounds and unravel their mechanistic basis for treating various diseases. Her team is also actively profiling proteins associated with the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and soluble fraction of human milk compared to other animal species. Their current project focuses on the proteome, metabolome and circadian profiles of milk from mothers in the early stages of breastfeeding babies up to 2 years of age. The aim is to investigate the interrelationship of the bioactive milk constituents and their roles in young infants' immune protection and cognitive and physical growth development.    

Wenn-Chyau Lee received his BSc (Hons) degree in Biomedical Sciences from Universiti Malaya, Malaysia in 2011, and graduated with his PhD in Medical Sciences from Universiti Malaya in 2014. Subsequently, he joined Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN, A*STAR) as a research fellow. He was appointed as SIgN fellow (young investigator) in 2018. He joined A*STAR ID Labs as an investigator in 2021. Subsequently, he joined the Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaya as a senior lecturer. Currently, he is also an adjunct investigator of A*STAR ID Labs, Singapore. As a parasitologist, he has involved in studies encompassing several medically important parasites. His main research interest revolves around the immuno-pathobiology of malaria. He has been investigating and deciphering the roles of rosetting (a phenomenon where a Plasmodium-infected red blood cell is stably adhered to uninfected red blood cells, forming a flower-like structure called ‘rosette’) in the pathogenesis of malaria. Besides, he is exploring the potential of applying different biocontrol strategies to eliminate vector-borne diseases. He has worked as a research fieldworker in different places including the Thai-Burmese Border, China, peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo. As different laboratory settings are equipped differently, he enjoys adapting and improvising facilities available in the field sites to conduct experiments, as well as coordinating the insectarium and Arthropod Containment Level 2(ACL2) facility in the Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaya. To date, he has published (as first/ corresponding author) in reputable journals such as Blood, Frontiers in Immunology, Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, eLife, EBioMedicine, Entomologia Generalis, and Trends in Parasitology. Apart from reviewing manuscripts for various journals, as well as evaluating grant proposals for local and overseas funders, he is also an associate editor of Frontiers in Microbiology and one of the editorial board members for the journal Decoding Infection and Transmission.  He has involved in various teaching activities for students from different programs in Universiti Malaya, such as the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), Bachelor of Biomedical Science, Master of Pathology (MPATH), and Master of Medical Parasitology and Entomology, as well as the students from overseas institutes, such as the Master of Science Program in Public Health, Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology, Faculty of Public Health, Mahidol University, Thailand. Besides participating as the coordinator for courses and several projects in the department, he is also the instructor of the microscopy training for the Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (DTM&H) co-organized by the University of Glasgow and Universiti Malaya. He served as a moderator in "Implementation Research (WPR-facilitated)", a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) by RTC-TDR-WHO in 2025. He has been a member of the Research Management Unit (RMU), Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaya since 2022. He is also a member of the A*STAR Global Network (A*GN), Singapore, the Malaysian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (MSBMB), and the Malaysian Society of Parasitology and Tropical Medicine (MSPTM).
