Her research focuses on improving early cancer diagnosis, cancer risk management, and shared decision-making (patient decision aids) in healthcare. Dr. Hamizah's work also addresses the behavioral/psychosocial aspects of diseases and implementation science, particularly in disease prevention and management. She developed a Patient Decision Aid (PDA) for Malaysian BRCA carriers, supporting informed decisions about ovarian cancer prevention, considering the local cultural context. Dr. Hamizah is a member of the International Shared Decision Making Society (ISDM) and the Qualitative Research Association of Malaysia (QRAM).

As an academic and researcher, my professional journey is rooted in the fascinating fields of Human Anatomy and Neuroscience, with research interests spanning cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, the gut-brain axis, natural products and drug discovery, developmental toxicity, and medical education. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to secure several research grants, leading to meaningful collaborations, publications, and the supervision of a number of postgraduate students. I’ve also served as an examiner for dissertations and contributed to advancing research both within and beyond my institution.Teaching is a joy and a cornerstone of my career. I teach Human Anatomy (Gross, Embryology, and Histology) to both undergraduate (MBBS, Dentistry, etc.) and postgraduate students. I’ve been involved in curriculum development, Anatomy Practical exam coordination, OSCEs and serve on vetting committees across various UG and PG medical /dental programs—including Surgery, ENT, Ophthalmology, and Clinical Dentistry. Whether preparing students for anatomy quizzes or guiding young researchers, I believe learning should spark curiosity—and definitely a bit of laughter along the way. After all, who says the brain can’t enjoy a little tickle while studying itself?I remain engaged with several professional bodies in anatomy (MAA) and neuroscience (MSN, IBRO), and have had the privilege of serving on scientific committees, participating in conferences, and being invited as a speaker / external examiner at various academic institutions. Mentorship is particularly close to my heart—whether it's nurturing critical thinking, building confidence, or simply helping students navigate their academic journey with a steady hand.I welcome opportunities for collaboration, idea exchange, and interdisciplinary research. Whether you're working on a related project or simply passionate about the brain, the body, or how nature might influence both—feel free to connect. There’s always something new to discover, especially when minds meet across disciplines.

Dr. Diana Abdul Wahab is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Applied Statistics, the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She completed her Doctorate at Leeds University Business School, Leeds, United Kingdom. Dr. Diana has been interested in applying statistical models to understand graduate labor market issues throughout her academic career, beginning at the Master’s level when she collaborated with the Tracer Study Unit in the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia. Her interest in the field has evolved to a deeper understanding of graduate employment issues including gender pay gap, first destination choices, and migration while developing her interest in the field of data science where she applies data science techniques in other areas of studies such as education and economy. She has published her paper in the Institutions and Economies and continues to write for other international academic journals. She has won a scholarship award to go to Kazakhstan to conduct a comparative analysis on the graduate employment issues between the two countries. She teaches Statistical Computing and Business Analytics and planning to expand her research interest in the field of data science.
