Description
Welcome to this course.
I hope this will be an interesting course for you all, where we learn on the microscopic world of foods, produced using different types of cells, starting from microbial cells.
To better grasp the concept of how alive are our foods, lets better understand what is BIOPROCESS? In simple words, bioprocess refers to biological processes using biological materials to produce end-products that we refer as BIOPRODUCTS. The Introductory Video will help you better understand the concept of Bioprocess.
As we can see from the video, there are many branches of bioprocess technology, such as pharmaceutical bioprocess, agricultural bioprocess, and medical bioprocess. Our present course covers FOOD BIOPROCESS TECHNOLOGY, thus another branch of bioprocess involving foods. This is the core of this course.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Currently a Professor in Bioprocess Technology with Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia
________
I joined Universiti Sains Malaysia back in 1998 as a student, to pursue my first degree. Little did I know that I was on a journey to be a part of its academics. With a BSc in Food Technology (USM), I proceeded to obtain a MSc in Food Biotechnology from USM. Upon obtaining a PhD in Food Microbiology and Safety from Victoria University (Melbourne, Australia), I joined USM in December 2006 as a lecturer at the age of 28. I was later promoted to Senior Lecturer in July 2008, Associate Professor in August 2010 and Professor in October 2015.
Being in academia has given me a new insight of life as an educator. It has given me the privilege to communicate with the younger generations, to teach and be taught. Apart from lecturing, my passion lies in research. More information on the field of my research could be obtained from my Research Page. I always believe that research and development is the best way to improve the quality of life.
For those who have clicked on my course with the aim to know more, I hope it has been insightful. For those who have clicked accidentally, but continued to read till this extent, thank you!
Thank you.
Who Should Attend!
