Dr Wei Yee Wee received his B.Sc. in Bioinformatics from Multimedia University (MMU) in 2012. After graduation, he continue with his Ph.D in Bioinformatics in University of Malaya and continue to work as Post Doctoral Research Fellow under Centre for Research in Biotechnology for Agriculture (CEBAR), University of Malaya after he gained his Ph.D. He has gained many years of experience in the field of bioinformatics research. Currently, he is an assistant lecturer in the School of Sciences and engages in education and research through contribution to multidisciplinary research projects, research funding and research publication in ISI Journals. He has a proven record in publication and published around 24 high impact papers since 2012. He has also take part in setup, design, establishment and maintenance of new bioinformatics laboratory.

Dr Wei Yee Wee has been involved in variety of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) projects such as whole genome and transcriptome analysis on eukaryotic genomes, bacteria genome and metagenomics. He is familiar with Bioinformatics analysis such as genome assembly, genome annotation, genes comparative study, identification of SNP variants and prediction on the effect of the SNP variants, differential gene expression analysis, pan-genome analysis, phylogenetic tree analysis, prophage identification. He also develop useful Bioinformatics tools and pipelines such as the Pairwise Genome Comparison (PGC) and the Pathogenomics Profilling Tool (PathoProT). PGC is a bioinformatics tool which allow user to perform pairwise genome alignment and visualize the alignment in a circular layout and PathoProT allow user to screen for virulence genes in the genome. These 2 tools have been implemented and integrated into few published database such as VibrioBase and HelicoBase.

Dr Wei Yee Wee current research projects are the whole genome analysis of Mycobacterium cosmeticum and transcriptomic analysis of Bosenbergia rotunda.

Bioinformatics related research project. I am interested in a variety of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) projects such as whole genome and transcriptome analysis on eukaryotic genomes, bacteria genome and metagenomics. Bioinformatics analysis such as genome assembly, genome annotation, genes comparative study, identification of SNP variants and prediction on the effect of the SNP variants, differential gene expression analysis, pan-genome analysis, phylogenetic tree analysis, prophage identification will able to further characterize and unveil more novel biological knowledge by using just dry lab instead of wet lab. I am also interested in developing Bioinformatics tools and pipelines which will allow researcher without Bioinformatics knowledge to have a chance to perform Bioinformatics analysis easily.
