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.
