  • Dr Norwahidah Abdul Karim is a lecturer at Department of Biochemistry, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre since 2008. Graduated from UKM with Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences (Hons.) in 2000 and graduated with PhD in Medical Biochemistry in 2007. Actively involved in teaching undergraduate and postgraduate medical program. The pioneer of molecular research in autism-related-mitochondria abnormalities in Malaysia and was trained under Oroboros O2k-Workshop on High-Resolution FluoRespirometry (HRFR), IOC122 at Schroecken, Austria on Jun 2016. Her research area includes the elucidation of underlying mechanism of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by proteomic and genomics study using autism lymphoblast cells, elucidation of mitochondrial abnormalities and oxidative stress in autism lymphoblast cells and intervention with natural product in-vitro such as vit E, tocotrienol-rich fraction and honey.
