Dr. Choo currently serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Malaya, Malaysia. Her research focuses on the discovery of bioactive compounds from Malaysia’s ethnomedicinal flora, integrating traditional knowledge with modern drug discovery strategies. She investigates underexplored native species using phytochemical profiling, bioactivity assays, advanced spectroscopic techniques, and computational approaches such as molecular docking, pharmacophore modelling, network pharmacology, and DFT calculations to support target identification, lead prioritisation, and structural elucidation. This integrative framework proved particularly effective during the COVID-19 pandemic in the identification of potential SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors and has since been extended to diverse chemical scaffolds relevant to infectious diseases, oncology, and neuroinflammation. She serves as an Editorial Board Member of Biomedicines and Traditional Medicine Research. In addition to her research activities, Dr. Choo is actively involved in teaching and student mentorship, delivering undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Natural Product Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Organic Synthesis, with a strong commitment to developing students’ critical thinking and research capabilities.
