Science at Monash offers many unique
opportunities for research students, especially
for those interested in multidisciplinary work.
Research projects are focused on a variety of
topics from biotechnology to food sciences.
We also equip our students with transferable
problem-solving and critical thinking skills that
can be applied in their chosen careers, whether
in academia, industry or government.”
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR QASIM AYUB
Deputy Head of School (Research) & Director, Genomics Facility
Dr Qasim specialises in human population and evolutionary
genomics, and has authored several high-impact publications.
For his contribution to science, he was awarded the President of
Pakistan’s Medal of Excellence in 2006. Several of the novel
male-specific markers that were identified during his studies
on the Pakistani population are now routinely used in forensic
DNA identification.
He’s currently studying the ageing population in Sunway City and
the genetic variation in immune responses to intestinal parasites
in the Orang Asli.
