Biography
Dr. Tan Ji Wei completed his BSc in 2011 (Biomedical Science), MSc in 2013 (Cell Biology) and PhD (Immunopharmacology) in 2016 from Universiti Putra Malaysia. Shortly after his PhD graduation, Dr Tan was appointed to a lecturer position in the School of Science in January 2018. During his PhD study, he managed to develop a mast cell stabilizer from a synthetic compound originated from a natural plant. His current research interest is still focusing on the capabilities of natural products as an alternative treatment against various human ailments including allergic diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Specifically, he is exploring how a natural compound play its beneficial role within a cell by looking at the cellular and molecular signalling pathways.
