About me
I am an assistant professor at the Lee Kong Chian Faculty of Engineering and Science, Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), Malaysia.
My research is to facilitate clinical translation of
chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging – an magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) technique which shows better correlation than
the current clinical practice in identifying tissue at risk after an
ischemic stroke and in grading tumour, differentiating tumour regrowth
and radiation necrosis, and measuring extracellular pH of tumour
microenvironment
This imaging modality has obtained some novel breakthroughs in animal
model but several hardware and regulatory limitations have prevented it
from becoming a routine clinical tool to aid decision making for stroke
and cancer management. My works mainly focus on providing the technical
capability and necessary analysis to assess the clinical utility of
CEST MRI.
In addition to this, I am also working on and interested in other research areas. For more details, please refer to the 'Research' button on the right panel.
