Nabilah is a passionate researcher with a background in marine and molecular sciences. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Marine Science from Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), where she developed a passion for marine ecosystems and biodiversity. She later pursued a Master’s in Molecular Biology at UMS, focusing on the genetic functions of Bamboo species in Sabah. Currently, she is pursuing a Ph.D. investigating microbial communities in mangrove sediments. Her research explores the roles of microorganisms in biogeochemical cycles, such as carbon and nitrogen cycling, which are crucial for ecosystem resilience and climate regulation. By examining microbial diversity and organic matter decomposition, her work provides insights into conservation and biotechnological applications. 

With expertise in fieldwork and advanced molecular techniques including metagenomics, microbial profiling, and bioinformatics. She is committed to the sustainable management of mangrove habitats. Her research contributes to understanding climate change, pollution impacts, and the long-term health of marine and coastal environments. Beyond science, she enjoys baking, applying the same curiosity and precision from her research to experimenting with new recipes. Whether in the lab or the kitchen, she embraces discovery in every form.
