معرفی
Dr. Faizatul Muhammad is a Lecturer at the Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Monash University, Malaysia. Her academic and research work is centered on cancer biology, particularly focusing on gastric cancer, obesity, and the role of leptin in tumorigenesis. She is actively involved in both teaching and research, with a strong commitment to scientific inquiry and academic mentorship.
Education:
- PhD in Physiology, Universiti Teknologi MARA (Awarded: 1 November 2019)
- Bachelor of Science in Biology, Universiti Teknologi MARA (Awarded: 30 September 2014)
Her research interests include gastric cancer, obesity, leptin signaling, natural products, and molecular oncology. She applies both in vivo and in vitro models in her investigations and provides statistical consultation for experimental studies. Her work contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in health and well-being.
The two most recent articles (both from 2018) reflect a focused research trajectory on gastric carcinogenesis using rodent models, exploring hormonal influences (leptin) and pharmacological interventions (reserpine). These studies highlight her expertise in experimental oncology and physiological modeling.
Scientific Awards:
- First Runner-Up for Oral Presentation (2024)
Dr. Muhammad is actively engaged in academic service, including peer review, mentoring undergraduate research (e.g., Scholarly Intensive Project), advising student competitions (Malaysian Physiology Quiz 2024), and delivering public lectures. She also contributes to professional networks such as the National Cancer Society Malaysia. While no specific grants are listed, her ongoing research and supervision activities suggest active involvement in funded or institutional research programs.
She is a member of the cancer research cluster at her institution and contributes to medical education through conference participation, including the Monash Malaysia Medical Education Conference (MMMEC) 2024 as an invited speaker. Her work integrates research, teaching, and community engagement in the field of biomedical sciences.
