Personal profile
Biography
Dr. Ramlah Mohamad Ibrahim joined Monash University Malaysia as a Lecturer in July 2023. She earned her PhD in Medical Biotechnology with a specialization in Nutrigenomics from University Putra Malaysia. Her doctoral research focuses into the nutrigenomic activities of functional foods in in regulating molecular mechanisms involved in obesity pathway. During her doctoral journey, Dr. Ramlah’s research was recognized with the award of a Graduate Initiative Grant, which supported her research endeavours. In her previous role as a dedicated researcher, she was actively involved in various projects encompassing in vitro, in vivo studies, and clinical trials. Her work has been published in several high-impact journals, emphasizing the far-reaching impact of her research. Currently, her research interest focuses on translating nutrigenomics findings into practical applications in clinical and community health practices aiming to make substantial contributions to the understanding and management of metabolic syndrome and obesity
