Biografi/ Biography :
Dr. Farah Wahida Ibrahim ialah seorang saintis bioperubatan, pendidik, dan penyelidik di Fakulti Sains Kesihatan, UKM, yang pakar dalam Sains Bioperubatan & Diagnostik serta Neurosains Translasi. Penyelidikannya tertumpu pada neurodegenerasi, neuroinflamasi, dinamika protein, biologi redoks, dan diagnostik molekul, dengan matlamat memahami mekanisme penyakit dan meningkatkan strategi terapeutik. Beliau mempunyai pengalaman luas dalam pemodelan penyakit neurodegeneratif, termasuk pembangunan dan pengesahan model Alzheimer dalam kajian pra-klinikal.
Selain penyelidikan bioperubatan, Dr. Farah turut meneroka pengajian tahfiz, khususnya dalam menilai hubungan antara hafazan al-Quran, kecerdasan, kesihatan mental, dan kesejahteraan pelajar tahfiz. Kajian ini menyumbang kepada pemahaman kesan hafazan al-Quran terhadap fungsi kognitif dan psikologi, selari dengan pendekatan holistik dalam pembangunan insan.
Sebagai seorang pendidik, Dr. Farah mengintegrasikan pendekatan pembelajaran kreatif dan teknologi dalam pengajaran, serta aktif membimbing pelajar sarjana muda, sarjana, dan doktor falsafah. Beliau telah memperoleh pelbagai geran penyelidikan nasional dan universiti, sama ada sebagai penyelidik utama atau bersama, menerbitkan kajian dalam jurnal berimpak tinggi, serta terlibat dalam penulisan sains popular dan program outreach STEM.
Dengan kepakaran dalam penyelidikan interdisiplin dan inovasi akademik, Dr. Farah terus menyumbang kepada kemajuan sains bioperubatan, pendidikan, dan kesejahteraan masyarakat.
Dr. Farah Wahida Ibrahim is a biomedical scientist, educator, and researcher at the Faculty of Health Sciences, UKM, specializing in Biomedical Science & Diagnostics and Translational Neuroscience. Her research focuses on neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, protein dynamics, redox biology, and molecular diagnostics, with the goal of understanding disease mechanisms and improving therapeutic strategies. She has extensive experience in neurodegenerative disease modeling, including the development and validation of Alzheimer’s Disease models in preclinical studies.
Beyond biomedical research, Dr. Farah also explores Tahfiz education, particularly in assessing the relationship between Quran memorization, intelligence, mental health, and the well-being of Tahfiz students. Her work contributes to a deeper understanding of how Quranic memorization influences cognitive and psychological functions, aligning with a holistic approach to human development.
As an educator, Dr. Farah integrates creative and technology-driven learning approaches into her teaching and actively supervises undergraduate, master`s, and PhD students. She has secured various national and university research grants, either as the principal or as co-researcher, published in high-impact journals, and is actively involved in science communication and STEM outreach programs.
With expertise in interdisciplinary research and academic innovation, Dr. Farah continues to contribute to the advancement of biomedical science, education, and societal well-being.
