My primary research interest is in personalised medicine, pharmacogenetics, and small molecule analysis, such as drugs and biomarkers. My secondary research activities involve pharmacy practice and pharmacy education. We have a network of research collaborators at various universities, research institute, and external stake holders.

Some of the current active projects are listed as follow

• TabCheck project – Develop drug detection tool from saliva and/or urine sample testing to help determine and improve patient compliance in long term medical treatment.
• Pheromone project – Identify signature pheromone as biomarker from sweat and/or saliva sample to help screening and diagnosing common mental illness.
• Healthy retirement project – Primary health care disease prevention – Identify and develop early intervention tool to help prevent negative health behaviour (e.g. weight gain) at critical life events such as retirement.
• Pharmacy practices – compounding medicine – investigates and provide recommendation to regulating bodies about scope of service delivery, improvement, and innovation
• Pharmacogenetics and personalised medicine – investigating the effect of individual’s genetic and molecular signals to determine their health and response to drug treatment.
• Identify strategy to improve hydration status of athletics to maximise game performance – an investigation of non-intrusive dehydration marker and long term effect in chronic kidney disease. (Project lead by external collaborative partner)
• Natural product project – Analysing novel chemical from plant/ environment origin for pharmacological property. (Project lead by external collaborative partner)
