He received his PhD from University Putra Malaysia (UPM) in Food Biotechnology. His research focus now is on biologically active compounds with an interest in contributing to a deeper understanding of bioactive peptides including generating of protein hydrolysates from different protein sources, fractionation of bioactive peptides to identify the potent angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory (ACE) and anti-oxidative bioactive peptides, characterization of protein hydrolysates generated using different proteases and bioactive peptides identified. Studying the effects of ACE on peptides and kinetic studies of peptides against ACE and the mode of inhibition are the other parts of his studies as an assistant professor and a researcher.
