Under the expert guidance of her supervisors, Ts. Dr. Mohamad Aimanuddin Mohtar, Ts. Dr. Saiful Effendi Syafruddin and Dr. Muhammad Redha Abdullah Zawawi, Ms. Yuh Chai presented her sophisticated research titled, “๐‚๐‘๐ˆ๐’๐๐‘-๐๐š๐ฌ๐ž๐ ๐“๐ž๐œ๐ก๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ˆ๐๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐“๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ฌ๐œ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐‘๐ž๐ ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐„๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ƒ๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐€๐†๐‘๐Ÿ ๐†๐ž๐ง๐ž ๐Ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ญ ๐‚๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ซ.” Her work leverages cutting-edge gene-editing tools to unravel the complexities of breast cancer progression, offering vital insights into how specific genetic drivers can be identified and potentially targeted.

The session was enriched by the presence of esteemed industry experts who provided invaluable external perspectives and commentary. We were honored to host Dr. Ewa Choy (Head of Division – Genetic Engineering, Cryocord Sdn. Bhd.) and Dr. Chin Xiao-Teng (Technical Services Director, Impaco LTD). Their participation highlights the importance of bridging the gap between academic discovery and industrial application, ensuring that high-level research like Ms. Yuh Chaiโ€™s remains grounded in real-world clinical and biotechnological needs.

Ms. Yuh Chaiโ€™s journey toward this final presentation has been defined by international recognition and academic excellence. Recipient of the prestigious King’s Scholarship (Biasiswa Yang di-Pertuan Agong), her dedication to her field has earned her esteemed travel grants to South Korea, New Zealand, and France, where she represented UMBI-UKM and shared her findings on a global stage. These accolades are a testament to the caliber of her work and her commitment to advancing cancer research.

We would like to formally acknowledge Ms. Yuh Chai for her unwavering perseverance and the high standard of scholarship she has maintained throughout her candidature. As she moves into the final stages of her journey, we wish her the very best of luck with her final thesis preparation and her upcoming viva voce. We have no doubt she will continue to excel and make meaningful contributions to the scientific community.
