Dr. Muhammad Zulfadhly Bin Muhammad Muzaki

Lecturer

Dr. Zulfadhly Muzaki is a Lecturer at PSB Academy's School of Health and Life Sciences. He holds a PhD in Biological Sciences from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, and has a strong background in microbiology, molecular biology and bacterial/viral genetics. Prior to joining PSB Academy, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where his research focused on Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophages, particularly prophage integration and phage–host interactions. His doctoral research investigated mixed-species microbial biofilms, with an emphasis on microbial interactions and biofilm biology. Dr Zulfadhly also brings teaching experience through undergraduate teaching assistantships and several years of teaching secondary school Biology and Chemistry at MENDAKI. He is passionate about science education and aims to foster critical thinking, scientific curiosity and an engaging learning environment for his students.
