PROFESSIONAL

Dr. Eddie Chia obtained his BSc (Microbiology), MSc (Molecular Biology), and PhD (Medical Biotechnology) from Universiti Putra Malaysia. Currently, he is the head of laboratory for UPM-MAKNA Cancer Research Laboratory (CANRES), Institute of Bioscience, and also an Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia. His research interest is in field of virology, specifically, Newcastle disease virus (NDV), as an oncolytic virus for the treatment of cancer. His research team is working on genetically modifying the virus to reduce its pathogenicity towards avian species and to enhance the oncolytic activities of the virus by inserting potential gene(s) into the viral genome.
