CHRISTIE SOO TZE CHIEW
Lab Manager/ PhD Candidate
I am a young research focusing more on studying host-pathogen interaction and evolutionary biology by using shrimps and prawns.

DANN CHAN YEN YEW
PhD Candidate
I am currently working in my PhD on DNA biosensor.I am interested in  how to integrate charge transfer of DNA in molecular and medical biology (telomerase and DNA repair enzymes). I am also curious about how to reverse the DNA oxidation to repair DNA damage that can cause harm to human body such as cancer.My hobbies are street workout, rearing aquatic fishes and shrimps and aquascaping

MOHAMAD HARRIS BIN NASIR
PhD Candidate
From Insect to Rodent, From Proteomic to Genomic. I'm always up for new knowledge and new fields to discover. I'm a researcher that love laboratory work and going out to the field discovering the wonders of the nature. My current project is identifying the rodent pest infesting the oil palm plantation and understanding the mechanism of rodenticides resistance of the pest species. Swimming and outdoor activities is my second life.

LAVANYA MALINI VYTHALINGAM
PhD Candidate
I wish that there will be a future that everyone will work together to protect our wonderful, diverse freshwater fish ! I work towards empowering our local fish against invasive alien fish using molecular biology and education! You can often find me outdoors or spending time behind a book!

CHAN CHEW CHIN
PhD Candidate
I'm an apprentice molecular biologist with growing interests in bioinformatics and bioethics. Always envy those tech-savvy who can produce figures and presentation with vivid visualizations. I am currently  working on RNA interference as a pest control measures for rat infestation in oil palm plantation. LOVE POKEMON!

LAW MEIYIN
PhD Candidate
I am doing research on the functional analysis of lectins from the innate immune system of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). I usually spend my spare time watching YouTube videos.

AILEEN SEE SIOUNING
PhD Candidate
I'm working on genetic modification in shrimp virus in which to reduce or suppress the replication of virus in shrimp as well as study on evolutionary dynamic of shrimp virus. My hobby is watching dramas!

HASSAN SHAIKH AL ALAIDAROUS
PhD Candidate
"Natural plants and their products are a gift from the creator to humankind, as it is considered the largest pharmacy in the world "My research focuses on the antibacterial activity of Saussurea lappa against Vibrio parahaemolyticus causing Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) isolated from shrimp.

SHAMALA MARIMUTHU
PhD Candidate
I'm all about simplicity,straightforwardness and success!My research is about identification of virulence factors associated with Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) in shrimp ponds! I love to garden and cook during my free time!

MAIVIZHI RAJENDRAM
Master Candidate
Researching and creating in between 4 walls. That have been my most profound interest that brought me from a pharmaceutical background to genetics and microbiology. I'm a licensed drug lord and a researcher. My project is on  finding the associating property to obliterate the ever evading parasite, Blastocystis spp. I love photography and the warmth of being enwrathed with books and good music and a warm cup of Milo.
