Expert Profile



Assoc. Prof. Ts. Dr. Muhammad Salahuddin bin Haris @ Harith joined Kulliyyah of Pharmacy, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) as an Assistant Lecturer in July 2011. He is currently working as an Associate Professor in the Pharmaceutical Technology Department. He has been the Head of Production Department of IKOP Sdn. Bhd., a GMP pharmaceutical plant, since March 2017. Currently, he is the Editor of the Journal of Pharmacy, an official journal of IIUM Kulliyyah of Pharmacy. He has held the position of Deputy Dean (Academic and Internationalisation), Kulliyyah of Pharmacy, from August 2021 to June 2023. He is also a committee member for the Malaysian Pharmacists Society - Pahang Area Committee from 2023–2025.


He obtained his Bachelor of Pharmacy (Hons.) from International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) in 2010 with a scholarship from Yayasan UEM (formerly owned by Pharmaniaga Sdn. Bhd., the largest Malaysian pharmaceutical company). Dr. Salahuddin was awarded as the Best Student for Co-Curricular Activities from IIUM during the 26th IIUM Convocation Ceremony, 2010. In the same year, Pharmaniaga Sdn. Bhd. awarded him as the Best Student for IIUM Kulliyyah of Pharmacy. He completed his 1-year Provisionally Registered Pharmacist (PRP) training at the University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Kuala Lumpur. From July 2011 until now, he has been a Registered Pharmacist (RPh.) with the Pharmacy Board Malaysia. He is also a Life Member of the Malaysian Pharmaceutical Society (MMPS). He is also recognised by the Malaysian Board of Technologists as a Professional Technologist in the Manufacturing and Industrial Technology fields.


In 2011, he was awarded a scholarship from the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia, to pursue his Master of Pharmaceutical Science (Drug Development) at the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. His thesis focused on the encapsulation of anticholesterol in solid lipid nanoparticles using electrospray. He graduated on time for his master's in 2013. In 2014, he was again awarded a scholarship from the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia, to enroll as a PhD candidate in Pharmaceutical Sciences (Pharmaceutical Technology) at IIUM. During his PhD, he was trained in developing a pharmaceutical formulation from the R&D stage until product registration.


His current research interests include drug formulation and drug delivery in technologies such as electrospray, electrospinning, and 3D printing. With various collaborations locally and internationally, he was granted several research and community-based grants amounting to more than RM2 million as the principal investigator and co-researcher. He is also active in supervising undergraduates, master students, and PhD candidates in drug formulation and delivery.
