Why This Research Matters:

• Addresses a pressing national health priority aligned with Malaysia’s efforts to reduce opioid dependence and its societal burden.

• Explores Malaysia’s unique multi-ethnic genetic landscape, offering insights that could explain disparities in treatment outcomes across populations.

• Contributes directly to the advancement of personalized medicine, with the potential to improve treatment efficacy, minimize harmful side effects, and enhance patient quality of life.

Candidate Profile:
We are looking for a dedicated and curious researcher who holds:

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (CGPA 3.0 or above) in Biology, Biomedical Science, Genetics, Pharmacology, Pharmacy, Medical Science, or a related discipline.

• Strong written and spoken English skills, with the ability to produce clear academic reports and documentation.

• A genuine passion for research, a proactive attitude, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.

• Commitment to enroll full-time in a Master’s or PhD program at Universiti Malaya in a related research area.

What We Offer:

• Opportunities for academic growth, conference participation, and possible research-related travel.

• Guidance from experienced researchers in genetics, pharmacology, and personalized medicine.
