Sustainable Material for Biomedical Engineering Application

Dr Wan Safwani Binti Wan Kamarul Zaman is currently a senior lecturer in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya, Malaysia. She is also a registered pharmacist under the Pharmacy Board of Malaysia. Her research interest is in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering with specific interest in human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and its biosafety and bioefficacy, MSCs biocompatibility in bioscaffold and the application of sustainable biomaterial in tissue engineering. She is an active reviewer for a number of national and international journals. She has more than 10 years of teaching experience in human anatomy and physiology, biochemistry and analysis and communication and thinking skills. Dr Wan Safwani has published more than 50 research articles in peer-reviewed international journal and authored or co-authored several book chapters. She is currently serving as an executive member of the Tissue Engineering and RegenerativeMedicine Society of Malaysia (TESMA). She is also a member of the Malaysian Pharmaceutical Society (MPS) and a member of Society of Medical and Biological Engineering Malaysia (MSMBE). She has also served as an advisory committee member for several conferences. Dr Asma Abdullah Nurul is an Associate Professor and the Head of the Biomedicine Department at the School of Health Sciences, University Science Malaysia. She has more than ten years of academic teaching experience in molecular biology, immunology, microbiology and stem cell and regenerative medicine. Dr Nurul has been engaged in multidisciplinary research which involves biomedicine, material engineering and clinical research in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Her main current research interests include understanding the effects of immunomodulation on the molecular mechanism of osteogenic regeneration, development of biomaterials for hard-tissue engineering (dental, bone and cartilage),and cell-based and cell free therapy in regenerative medicine. Dr. Nurul is also an active reviewer for a number of international journals, as well as a reviewer for university and national grants. She has published over 60 full peer-reviewed papers in the related field and authored or co-authored several book chapters.  In professional bodies, Dr. Nurul is an active member in various national and international societies. She is currently serving as an executive committee member of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Society Malaysia and the Malaysia Biomaterial Society.
