PHARMACY
I was fortunate to receive several travel grants that enabled me to undertake research exchanges at Monash University, Australia. These opportunities allowed me to expand my research network internationally, collaborate with researchers from diverse backgrounds, and develop new research skills and methodologies. In addition to the academic benefits, the experience also gave me the chance to explore Melbourne and experience its vibrant culture, which made the journey both professionally enriching and personally memorable.”
DR CARMEN TEOH KAH WOON

At Monash, Carmen worked with a multidisciplinary team of software engineers and pharmacists to develop PRIME, a digitally supported prediabetes management program. PRIME was successfully implemented across 13 community pharmacies in Malaysia and positively impacted the lives of nearly 100 individuals with prediabetes. PRIME won the Gold award at the International Invention, Innovation and Technology Exhibition( ITEX) in 2022.
Driven by a passion for improving public health, Carmen hopes to empower individuals to make informed health decisions while nurturing future pharmacists to become compassionate and innovative healthcare professionals.
