Dr. Noraishah is actively involved in organic chemistry thesis research areas, namely oleochemistry and analytical chemistry.

Syahrul Imran Abu Bakar (Ch.M, Dr.) is a senior lecturer and a research fellow at Attaur-Rahman Institute for Natural Product Discovery (AuRIns). After completing his undergraduate studies, Dr Imran worked as a method development and validation chemist for two years before pursuing a PhD in chemistry at UiTM, where he graduated in 2016. Upon completing his postdoctoral research, Dr. Imran joined the faculty at his alma mater as a senior lecturer in 2018, where he currently teaches a variety of chemistry courses, including general chemistry, fundamental organic chemistry, organic chemistry, advanced analytical investigation, and medicinal chemistry. Dr Imran is currently working on the synthesis of bioactive compounds and computational drug design. His research focuses on developing new compounds that have the potential to treat a variety of diseases.

Suhaidi Ariffin (Ch.M., Dr.) is an academician employed at Universiti Teknologi MARA since 2016. He received his Ph.D. in Science (Microbial Natural Products) from UiTM in  2016. The teaching and learning subjects that he actively involved in for the past seven years include general chemistry, organic chemistry, food chemistry, and analytical chemistry. His research interest is screening the bioactive metabolites from actinobacteria, flowering, and fruiting plants for anti-infective drug discovery. The past seven years of teaching and learning, research, and other academic and non-academic activities enabled him to execute any given responsibilities individually and as a part of a team in a timely and efficient way.
