Being trained in a molecular and cancer biology laboratory during my PhD has established my solid understanding and skills in experimental cancer biology. Here, I worked on a project that sought out to decipher the genetic components that regulate the molecular networks underlying the development of NDV persistence infection in bladder cancer cells.

Universiti Putra Malaysia

• During this period, I worked on a research that includes the following focus area:- (1) Development and characterisation of persistent bladder cancer cells treated with an oncolytic Newcastle disease virus (NDV), (2).
• Sequenced the persistently infected bladder cancer cell lines by whole transcriptome (RNA-Seq) using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics pipelines.
• Assembled and analysed the transcriptome profile of the persistently infected bladder cancer cell lines using Unix/Linux command lines in HPC environment.
• Wrote five (5) first author publications, several second author publications, and one doctoral dissertation that added more insightful information to the existing body of knowledge in cancer genomics and.
• Developed a standard protocol for the propagation and purification of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) for oncoltyic virotherapy application that is currently being used in most of the local laboratories working with NDV.
• Presented my research findings orally (an in oral highlights) in 4 international conferences across 2 countries.
