Expert Profile
Mohd Razik Midin graduated with a BSc (Major in Biology) from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) in 2010. He then pursued a Master's Degree at Universiti Putra Malaysia in Plant Genetics, sponsored by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) under the Graduate Students Assistantship Scheme. After completing his MSc, he joined the Genomics Research Unit at MPOB as a research officer for four years. In 2015, he pursued a PhD in Plant Genetics, specializing in Plant Cytogenetics at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). His PhD research focused on the cytogenetics and genome study of Garcinia mangostana (mangosteen). Following the completion of his PhD, he was appointed as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Plant Science, Kulliyah of Science in 2018. His current research projects focus on the cytogenetic characterization and mechanisms of genome evolution in plant species such as Garcinia, orchid, oil palm, durio, and acanthaceae species.
