I’m a consultant neurologist and senior lecturer at the National University of Malaysia Medical Centre, a comprehensive stroke centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. My main research focus is on intracerebral haemorrhage. I completed a PhD in stroke medicine at the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom, working on data from the Tranexamic acid in IntraCerebral Haemorrhage-2 (TICH-2) randomised controlled trial. I was the national coordinator the TICH-2 for Malaysia and was also involved as an investigator/ trial physician for several stroke randomised controlled clinical trials, including RIGHT-2, RESTART, RESTORE brain, LACI-1, ATTEST-2, TASTE and TWIST. I look forward to international research/academic collaborations and am eager to be involved in more clinical trials in stroke. To date, I have 50+ journal publications including in the Lancet, Stroke, International Journal of Stroke, European Stroke Journal and Cochrane Systematic Reviews. I’m also a reviewer for several stroke/neurology journals.

I graduated from the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, UK) with a BA in Politics and International Relations with First Class Honours and completed my Master of Research (Mres) at the University of Exeter with distinction and the Dean’s commendation for exceptional performance. Whilst studying at the University of Exeter (UK) I focused exclusively on developing my research skills by taking methodology centred classes. In addition to broadening my understanding of how to use quantitative, qualitative, and experimental methodologies to increase validity and reliability, this allowed me to approach my interest in the health service research from different angles. I am currently seeking PhD Opportunities to further pursue my interest in health service research and develop my skills as a methodologist.
