I completed my medical degree from University Malaysia Sabah in 2010, following which, I pursued and completed my specialty training in Clinical Oncology at University Malaya in 2022. At year 2024, I completed my FRCR exam and admitted as fellow in Royal College of Radiologist. I was certified with Good Clinical Practice in 2015, since then I have been involved as a sub-investigator in various clinical studies which focus on ovarian cancer and thyroid cancer during my master training program. I gained valuable experiences from my lecturer and colleague. I have been involved in conferences, abstract presentations, and publications focusing on key areas of oncology. At present, I am the lead investigator for several new industry-sponsored studies, which have given our patients access to cutting-edge treatments. As an oncologist, my goal is to offer the most up-to-date, personalized care backed by strong clinical evidence.
