Dr. Kim-Kee Tan received her Ph.D. and training in molecular virology at the Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaya. Currently, she serves as Senior Lecturer at the Tropical Infectious Diseases Research and Education Centre (TIDREC), Universiti Malaya and the Department of Biomedical Science, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaya. Her research focuses on emerging viral pathogens, integrating genomic and bioinformatic approaches to investigate virus emergence, evolution, and transmission across human, animal, vector, and environmental interfaces. Her work engages new research technologies, such as Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). Besides that, she is also a trainer for biosafety and biosecurity training; hence she has vast experience designing workflow and handling different types of pathogens. She has a strong interest in genomic surveillance and pandemic preparedness, with projects spanning viral discovery, phylogenetics, and molecular epidemiology.

Victor S Selvanayagam completed his degree in Sports Science and Master’s in Medical Science at the University of Malaya (UM). He received his PhD from The University of Queensland in the area of Neuroscience where he focused on identifying early neural responses to strength training. Victor, who is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning specialist (CSCS), is currently an Associate Professor and was the Deputy Director (Research and Development) with the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Science, Universiti Malaya. He played a pivotal role in developing and is currently the coordinator for the first Master of Strength and Condtioning Program in Malaysia. His main research focuses on the contribution of the nervous system to strength by incorporating well-explored motor learning paradigms to strength training. He also plays a consultative role in the area of exercise physiology and exercise testing and prescription. Ultimately, Victor is keen to explore and share his expertise pertaining to the science and fundamentals of human movement, so that movements can be safe, effective and efficient.  Updated 09/05/2025 (WOS) Total Articles in Publication List  23 Articles With Citation Data  21 Sum of the Times Cited   302 h-index   8
