My current research and development activities are to integrate bioinformatics and system biology to enhance the understanding of complex biological process such as neurodegenerative disorders / cancers due to the exposure of hazardous drugs, chemicals and environmental stressors. Activities also involve the use of fuzzy logic and artificial neural network to develop decision support system for health risk assessment by integrating diagnostic tools for common diseases from 4 priority areas namely 1) Lung functional abnormalities 2) Neurological disorder 3) Renal disorder and 4) Cancer.

My long term research interests are to integrate miRNA and structural bioinformatics research with the system biology of cancer and aging in general to identify new biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
