I have more than ten years of experience in structural study of protein and peptide, mostly for biomedical applications. My research is focused on tailoring of protein and peptide structure by utilizing computational (in silico) as well as experimental (“wet lab”) techniques. I am also interested in rational design and discovery of chemotherapeutic agent against tropical and autoimmune diseases. My current research projects are revolving around downsizing of proteins into smaller peptides without loss of their functions. Three major undergoing projects in my laboratory are: i) design of antifreeze peptide derived from an Antarctic yeast protein, ii) downsizing of enzyme into peptide (“mini-enzyme”), and iii) peptide-based drug against rheumatoid arthritis.
Current students:
1. Teo Chian Ying (Ph.D) - peptide-based drug
2. Zalikha Ibrahim (Ph.D) - drug design
3. Syed Hussinien Hielmie Shah (M.Sc) - antifreeze peptide
4. Ahmed (Omar Abdelazim) Suliman Warrad (M.Sc) - antifreeze peptide
5. Hyzurahidayu Haizam (M.Sc) - peptide-based catalyst
6. Izzuddin Ahmad Nadzirin (M.Sc) - peptide-based drug
7. Azren Aida Asmawi (M.Sc) - antifreeze peptide
