Dr. Muhamad Noor Alfarizal bin Kamarudin is a Senior Lecturer and Deputy Head of School (Engagement & Partnerships) at the Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Monash University Malaysia. As a Stage IV Non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivor, Dr. Kamarudin's work is driven by a commitment to bridge fundamental discoveries with solutions that improve diagnosis and patient outcomes. He leads the Gliomas Research Group, investigating the molecular mechanisms driving glioblastoma mesenchymal transition, a key process underlying tumor invasion, therapy resistance, and disease progression. His work spans the regulation of membranous nanotube-mediated tumor cell communication and mechanisms of temozolomide resistance. Complementing these efforts, his research identifies novel biomarkers and tumor microenvironment interactions to advance early diagnosis and precision neuro-oncology. Building on his expertise in molecular biology and multi-omics, he leads multidisciplinary programs spanning precision medicine within Health and Demographic Surveillance System-linked initiatives, advances regional health policy through the ASEAN Policy Hub for Public Health Emergencies, and leads water security programmes, to establish a precision health and environmental radar, providing predictive, uncertainty-aware intelligence that enables governments to strengthen public health preparedness, water security, and urban climate resilience.
