Kok Lun Pang

PeerJ Reviewer

Summary

Dr Kok Lun Pang completed his Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Hons) from The National University of Malaysia (UKM) in 2011. He continued his postgraduate study in UKM and was later awarded a PhD in Biomedical Science (specialised in Molecular Pharmacology and Toxicology) in 2018. In the same year, he was appointed as a Lecturer in Pharmacy (Pharmacology and Therapeutics) under the School of Pharmacy, University of Reading Malaysia. Afterwards, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher under the Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, the National University of Malaysia for a year before he joined the Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia as a non-clinical lecturer for 2.5 years. Currently, he is a lecturer under the School of Medicine, Monash University Malaysia.

His research interests include the fundamental studies of cellular biology, stem cells, cell signalling, apoptosis and autophagy. He is interested to explore the potential and the molecular mechanisms of natural products or newly synthetic chemicals as chemotherapeutic, chemopreventive or regenerative medicine. He is also interested to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of toxicants/carcinogens in carcinogenesis.

My PhD project was focusing on the mechanisms of anticancer effects of naturally extracted bioactive compound (Goniothalamin) and its semi-synthetic analogue (Trifluoromethoxy-goniothalamin) on chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cells. Several parameters were conducted including cell-based assay, viability and apoptosis determination, proteomics and genomics.
