Prof. Adeeba shared an intimate side of her, sharing her illustrious career from the moment she chose to do medicine, and her decision to focus on infectious diseases as a research area. Be mesmerized with her determination and confidence to make a change in all of her capacities, be it as the Dean of the Faculty (the first female to hold the position in Universiti Malaya history), or the regional and global champion of HIV/AIDS research.

 

“We have all the tools and science to put an end to HIV/AIDS. What is left is the people-related part: political will, laws, financing, stigma, discrimination, etc.” (Adeeba Kamarulzaman, 2021)
