I am an experienced law academic. I have taught law in different countries (undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including LLB & LLM) and in the last decade, in the Australasian region. I have extensive experience in designing curriculum, setting assessments and moderation. I have consistently achieved excellent teaching evaluations, and I was rated as an outstanding lecturer by Swinburne University students. I am familiar with the use of modern technologies such as Hyflex.

My research interest is in current bioethics law, which includes regulating stem cell research & therapy (including SCBEMs/ embryo models), human genome editing (CRISPR-Cas9), Covid-19, personalised medicine, biobanking and other emerging biotechnologies. I publish in various law and bioethics journals, both national and international, including the Journal of Law & Medicine (esteemed medical law journal), Griffith Law Review and Asian Bioethics Review (Q1 journal).

Both of my postgraduate qualifications (LLM & PhD) are by research and they are in critical areas at the time. My LLM thesis was on HIV/ AIDS & Discrimination law. In my PhD thesis, I conducted analysis. I compared the Australian regulatory regime on human embryonic stem cell research and the Malaysian regime against the backdrop of the regulatory theories of Professor Roger Brownsword (Kings College London, UK) and Professor John Braithwaite (Australian National University). Their regulatory theories are of generic application and thus relevant to various types of law.

At the International Society of Cell & Gene Therapy (ISCT), I serve as a member of the Ethics of Cell & Gene Therapy (ECGT) committee and I am also a committee member of the Legal & Regulatory Affairs (ANZ region). At WSU, I am a member of the university's Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC). Previously, I was the academic program advisor (APA) for the law school. I was also a member of the law school’s Research and Higher Degree Committee for several years.

I was a visiting scholar at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) law school. My project was “A Comparative Look at the US and Australian Approaches to the Regulation of Stem Cell Research and Therapy.” In due course, I'll apply for a Fulbright scholarship to pursue research on stem cell litigation and enforcement at the University of California.
