Norfarahin Abdullah Sani

I am an academician focusing on clinial anatomy teaching and researcher with a multidisciplinary background in medical education, reproductive neuroendocrinology, and male reproductive health. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering immersive learning through active and constructivist approaches, technology-enhanced anatomy learning, and outcome-based curriculum design. My research focuses on proteomics and molecular mechanisms underlying male reproductive and neuroendocrine infertility, as well as the impact of educational innovations such as virtual reality, artificial intelligance, technology-assisted and gamification learning on medical students’ learning outcomes, assessments and curriculum development. With additional experience in MQA audit preparation, faculty-level research coordination and management, I am committed to bridging biomedical research in my area with innovative education to improve both student learning and translational health outcomes. Research Interests: 1. Male reproductive health 2. Reproductive neuroendocrinology. 3. Artificial intelligance in curriculum design and development. 4. Active learning in clinical anatomy education. 5. Bridging learning styles with assessment in medical education. Laboratory skills: 1. Proteomics : ELISA 2. Metabolomics: UPLC, LCMS 3. Genomics: Electrophoresis 4. Imaging: light and fluorescent microscope 5. Cell culture Academic (subject matter expert): 1. Human and Clinical Anatomy (Gross Anatomy, Embryology, and Histology) Management expertise: 1. Curriculum planning and development in medical education. 2. teaching and learning innovation in medical education. Current Projects: 1. Evaluating the effect of vitamin E in improving chronic unpredictable stress (CUS)-induced male reproductive deficit in Sprague dawley rats. Career Vision: To advance as an academic leader integrating medical education, translational neuroscience, and reproductive biology, while contributing to curriculum innovation, impactful research, and mentoring future medical educators and researchers.
