RESEARCH INTEREST The current research interest is more on cell pathophysiology especially related to metabolic disorders –
induced oxidative stress damage on cells or organs in vivo and in vitro that leads to the development of
cardiovascular diseases in the long run. Further alternative therapuetic prevention strategies from natural
resources to treat metabolic disorders are the ultimate goal for this research. On the other hand, treating
cancers at its molecular level targetting the redox signaling pathways and its cell cycle profile are of interest.
The role of inflammation induced – oxidative stress damage by risk factors that may have their effects on
cells and ways to attenuate the activation within the molecular signaling pathways that leads to prolong
inflammation and cell death/apoptosis and degeneration in cells will be of a great interest in the current
research. Clinical trials using natural resources on preventing and treating metabolic disorders as well as
cancer patients are in-line for the future studies.

RESEARCH INTEREST The aquaculture sector is currently thriving, and has expanded to meet the demand for fish and shellfish as
REPRESENTATIVE an alternative protein source to meat worldwide. Therefore, a great deal of attention is paid to problems that
PUBLICATIONS the industry faces, with fish diseases of paramount importance. A variety of species of bacteria, viruses and
parasites are common in the aquatic environment, which can result in serious diseases amongst fish stocks.
Furthermore, fish has been used as a model to study the evolution of vertebrate immunity for some decades,
especially work on humoral immune responses where knowledge on antibody production has dominated much
of the literature on fish immunology. In contrast, little is known about specific cell-mediated immunity in fish,
even though it also likely plays an important role in the immune system and disease resistance. Her research
interest is finding ways to improve disease resistance focussing on the use of vaccines. She is also focused on
analysing cell mediated responses, taking advantage of the recently discovered cytokines of adaptive immune
responses in fish, which allow transcriptomic studies in particular to look at the molecules turned on during
infection and after vaccination.

RESEARCH INTEREST Her research area mainly focused on nanomaterials, especially hybrid nanocomposites as well as modifications,
REPRESENTATIVE characterizations and controlled release of the hybrid nanocomposites. This hybrid nanocomposite has been
PUBLICATIONS extensively studied due to its ability to store beneficial agent in the nanolayered interlamellae and ultimately
transports, release its stored beneficial agent to the target area. These open the avenues to a new class of
nanomaterials with physical and chemical properties that can be tailor made, easy and relatively cheap.
The main material of the hybrid nanocomposite is the host, the layered double hydroxide (LDH) and the guest
anion, usually is a beneficial agent such as plant growth regulator, drugs, etc, which will be inserted in the
interlayer of the host. Insertion or intercalation of the guest anion into the interlayer of the host can be done
with two common methods which are direct method (co-precipitation) and indirect method (ion-exchange).
The guest anion, the prepared host and the hybrid nanocomposite will then be characterized for its physico-
chemical properties with various techniques namely PXRD, FTIR, CHNS, ICP-AES, TGA-DTG, ASAP and SEM.
Further studies on the release of the beneficial agent in various mediums will be done to get some insight
information on the release behaviour.
