Prof. Dr. Zeehaida Mohamed is a Professor of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and a leading researcher in parasitic diseases. Her scholarly contributions are extensive, with over 140 peer-reviewed publications addressing critical parasitic infections such as amoebiasis, toxoplasmosis, strongyloidiasis, malaria, and soil-transmitted helminths. Her work demonstrates both scientific depth and applied impact, ranging from clinical case studies to the development of innovative diagnostic methods, including rapid tests for Strongyloides and AI-driven malaria detection systems. These advances highlight her ability to integrate classical parasitology with emerging biomedical and engineering technologies.
Her research has achieved wide recognition, 23 h-index with more than 1,400 citations on Scopus and over 68,000 reads on ResearchGate, underscoring her influence within the global scientific community. Beyond publications, Prof. Zeehaida actively fosters international research collaborations, working with partners in Southeast Asia, including Jogjakarta, and across interdisciplinary teams that merge microbiology with digital health solutions. She has presented her findings at both national and regional conferences, strengthening networks that advance parasitology and infectious disease research.
Professionally, Prof. Zeehaida is a registered specialist in Medical Microbiology with the Malaysian National Specialist Register. In this capacity, she provides diagnostic and consultative services in parasitology and microbiology, ensuring high-quality laboratory support for clinical decision-making particularly at USM’s Health Campus. Her dual role as a clinician and academic enriches her teaching, allowing her to train students and young researchers with a blend of theoretical knowledge and real-world clinical insights.
In summary, Prof. Dr. Zeehaida Mohamed is a clinician-scientist with extensive experience in parasitology and microbiology. Her research contributions, international collaborations, and innovation in diagnostic technologies have positioned her as a leading figure in tropical infectious disease research. Through her publications, teaching, and professional service, she continues to shape the field of parasitology while advancing Malaysia’s role in global health research.
