Biography

Jane Gew is an Associate Professor at the Department of Biological Sciences. Dr Gew earned her PhD in Chemistry at University of Malaya. Her dissertation covered lipid-protein interactions using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique and atomic force microscopy to develop new antibody-targeted liposomal drug delivery system formulations. She is actively involved in research activities that are in-line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by using and developing new green and safe alternative processes and chemicals. She is also passionate and committed to understand and address plastic pollution issues to achieve a sustainable world through change in policy and social structure.

In her course of research and study, Dr Gew has received several awards namely “Outstanding Women in Science (Chemistry) by Venus International Women Awards, Chennai, Bentham Ambassador (since 2019 to date) and the most recent (2019) is the “SSHN (High level Scientific Stay) Scholarship for Young Researcher” by France Embassy in Malaysia. In her line of research and study, Dr Gew has published research papers in prominent research journals and has demonstrated her commitment and dedication which are evident through her works with numerous research partners and grants.
