Dr. Nurul Nadhirah, a Senior Lecturer at the Glami Lemi Biotechnology Research Centre, Universiti Malaya, is a renowned researcher in plant biotechnology. She has specialized expertise in the tissue culture of fern species and selected crop plants, making significant contributions to the understanding and cultivation of these plants for both scientific and practical applications.       In addition to her work in plant tissue culture, Dr. Nadhirah has extensive knowledge in taxonomy, systematics, and biodiversity of ferns (pteridophytes). Her academic interests are centered on exploring the vast diversity of ferns, studying their classification, and understanding their ecological roles in different environments. She obtained her PhD in Botany from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, where her research focused on spore culture of various fern species found in Malaysia.      She has published numerous papers on plant tissue culture, fern taxonomy, and biodiversity, establishing her as an expert in the field. She is an active participant in scientific expeditions, collaborating with government and NGOs, to collect valuable data on plant species and contribute to conservation efforts aimed at protecting Malaysia's natural heritage.

Dr. Hemavathi Shanmugam is a psychiatrist and medical lecturer in the Department of Psychological Medicine, University of Malaya. Her primary area of interest is non-invasive brain stimulation in psychiatry. She holds certification in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS; PULSES, USA) and transcranial electrical stimulation (TES; PlatoScience, Denmark). She is an active member of global neuromodulation networks, including the Clinical TMS Society and its Asian Special Interest Council (CTMSS). Clinically, Dr. Hemavathi led the implementation of the rTMS service for psychiatric disorders at the University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), a collaborative initiative with the Rehabilitation Medicine department, and has been formally credentialed and privileged by UMMC to perform TMS procedures. Her research interests lie in neuromodulation and health economics, with ongoing work in cost-of-illness analyses, real-world clinical outcomes, and the cost-effectiveness of rTMS in Malaysia, supported by a BKP research grant. Dr. Hemavathi is actively involved in undergraduate and postgraduate psychiatry education and contributes to the development and credentialing of neuromodulation services within her department. To strengthen her emerging focus in precision neuromodulation, she is undertaking an observership at the National University Hospital (NUH), Singapore, focusing on neuronavigation-guided and accelerated TMS protocols.
