Dr Wahib obtained his PhD in Molecular Parasitology (PhD with Distinction) from the Universiti Malaya (UM) in 2017. Later he joined the Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaya in 2019 as a lecturer and contributed to different academic and research activities. Dr. Wahib's work has been dedicated to the falciparum malaria parasite, the most malignant cause of human malaria, top-ranked the mortality rate and led the parasite resistance to antimalarial drugs, specifically on the monitoring of antimalarial drug resistance using in vivo clinical trials and molecular gene markers. He joined an external research collaboration with the Medical Research Center, Jazan University, Saudi Arabia and local research collaboration with the School Biological Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) on the epidemiology, genotyping and molecular evaluation of antimalarial drugs resistance of falciparum malaria isolates from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Nigeria, respectively. In addition to malaria research, Dr Wahib has contributed to other research projects including intestinal protozoa, schistosomiasis and other soil-transmitted helminths (STH) as well as health education programs for parasitic infections. More recently, Dr Wahib has contributed to designing a new gene marker for genotyping falciparum malaria isolates, suitable for correcting in vivo malaria clinical trials. Over the years of being a researcher at the Department of Parasitology, Dr Wahib has published 30 papers in ISI-indexed journals with an h-index of 14 and more than 900 citations. Furthermore, he is a reviewer in reputable journals such as PLoS ONE, PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, Parasites & Vectors, Malaria Journal, Transaction of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, BMC Medicine, Pathogens and Global Health, International Research Journal of Public and Environmental Health and Tropical Biomedicine.
