Research Interests
Mechanism of fatty acid production in oil palm using the proteomics approach and industrial-related problems such as oil palm disease and the production of bioactive compounds from industrial waste.
Biography
Benjamin completed his Bachelor's and Master’s Degrees with the National University of Malaysia from 1999 – 2006. He started his career with the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) in 2007 as a research scientist for the then Biochemistry Group. From 2007-2011, he was tasked with setting up the first proteomics-based core facility in MPOB and trained personnel in proteomics-based research. Towards the end of 2011, Benjamin was awarded a scholarship under Malaysian Plan (RMK) for a Ph.D. program at Lincoln University – AgResearch, Christchurch, New Zealand. He completed his Ph.D. in Biochemistry, specializing in plant proteomics, in June 2015. Thereafter, he continues his position as a research scientist at Proteomics and Metabolomics Unit, MPOB, until today. He is currently the Principal Research Scientist and Group Leader for Proteomics.
Education
