The Molecular Function Regulation Lab (M. Firdaus Raih research group) at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia is primarily involved in investigating the mechanisms of biological function regulation at the molecular level.

To achieve this, we actively explore:
(i) RNA biology (RNA mediated regulatory systems),
(ii) Mechanisms of how virulence and pathogenicity in bacteria is regulated,
(iii) Biological macromolecules involved in function regulation - glycoproteins and mechanisms of molecular switches.

The approaches we employ in exploring these key areas of interest include bioinformatics, X-ray crystallography, synthetic biology and systems biology.
