Brief Summary: Rosnah Zain received her Bachelor of Dental Science from the University of Queensland, Australia in 1977. She joined the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and soon after graduation, she began her clinical/research training at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (1979). In 1982, she received her Master of Science in Oral Pathology and Diagnosis from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and her Fellowship from the American Academy of Oral Pathology. Upon her return to Malaysia, she was appointed as a Lecturer in 1982, an Associate Professor in 1989 and is a Professor in Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine since 2000. While serving as an academician, she also practices diagnostic Oral Pathology as well as the Oral Medicine specialty. From 1984, there were various periods where she was the Head of the Department of Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine, Deputy Dean, Chairperson of the Curriculum Review Committee for the dental undergraduate course (20052007) and currently is the Deputy Dean for Postgraduate and Research as well as the Director, Oral Cancer Research and Coordinating Centre, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Malaya. She has published widely with her main area of research being oral mucosal lesions and oral cancer. Currently, she has a special interest in standardization of various methodologic/clinical/pathologic criteria towards achieving credibility in all aspects of oral cancer research. Management Experience Rosnah Zains career as an administrator began very early when in 1983 she had to take the responsibility of being the Head of Department one year after

her being a lecturer due to the lack of senior staff to hold the position. At that time the only senior staff in the department had to take the position in the Facultys Management. During those early years, she was able to move the department to greater heights in the area of undergraduate teaching, oral medicine services and oral pathology diagnostic laboratory services. Research and Innovations Despite having to gain skills in being an administrator where she served from 1983 until 1988, she had to also find time to develop herself in research. With limited research funding at that time and limited research materials (as the research materials from the oral pathology diagnostic services were very small at that time), she had to begin collecting research materials in oral medicine through field studies outside the Faculty of Dentistry. Her main area of work then was to look into the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in outpatients of government clinics, army personnel and factory workers. At most times her research had to be done without research assistants and any funding during the period of 1983 to 1986 with times of self funding when necessary. These difficulties in research endeavors had led her to be skilled in human relations where she had been able to gain assistance and thus obtaining assistance and/collaboration with personnel from the Dental Division, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Defence. Such work, while small led to the increase in knowledge on prevalence data on oral mucosal lesions via publications in Malaysia. Throughout the organization of these researches and in collaboration with Japanese, Swedish and German colleagues, she has developed calibration and training packages/programmes and booklets. These packages/programmes are aimed at tackling methodologic issues such that data on oral mucosal lesions will be standardized for meaningful global comparison. Arising from these, a criteria book titled Clinical criteria of oral mucosal lesions in Asia-Pacific was published by her and her colleagues from Japan, Germany and Sweden. Her experience in oral mucosal lesions criteria standardization and calibration has led her to be invited as a consultant to Ministry of Health Malaysia research project on oral cancer screening. International recognition in this area are evidenced by her being invited to do lectures and training workshops in Indonesia and Taiwan. Among her major research endeavour is a collaborative research project with colleagues from the Oral Health Division, Ministry of Health Malaysia and Aichi Gakuin University, Nagoya, Japan. This project is a nationwide survey conducted in 1993/94 on the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions, which produced the first population-based prevalence data on oral cancer and precancer in the country. It is the only country worldwide, which has an oral mucosal lesion prevalence data representing the whole country. This data is also the first in the country to actually identify the indigenous people of Sabah and Sarawak as being high-risk groups for oral precancer and cancer. These findings have led the Oral Health Division, Ministry of Health Malaysia to include the indigenous people of Sabah and Sarawak, other than the Indians, in their oral cancer screening programmes. This study emphasizes her leadership and organisational skill where she and her Japanese colleagues with input from experienced colleagues from Sweden and India, trained 16 Dental Public Health Officers from the Ministry of Health Malaysia. These 16 officers were trained to conduct interviews and oral examinations on 11,707 Malaysian subjects. With limited funds from University of Malaya and Japan; and manpower and logistic assistance from the Oral Health Division, Ministry of Health Malaysia, she was able to organize the manpower, data collection, computerisation and analysis of the data for this major project. To add to the international recognition given to her in research organization, her Japanese colleagues and she secured a Japanese MONBUSHO grant to study the role of dietary factors (serum micronutrients) and risk factors on oral

cancer in certain Malaysian populations from 1997 to 1999. She was leading the project in Malaysia and had to again organize the manpower via gaining assistance from the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Defence; the training, materials and data analysis. Whilst pursuing her research projects she strongly believes in collective efforts so as to gather a wider scope of ideas yet benefiting the others as well. Through this believe she had embarked on numerous projects with numerous co researchers within the country and from countries of the region. Two of her major projects described above had led to the publication of 2 monographs in 1995 and 1999 titled Oral mucosal lesions in Malaysia - an epidemiologic study and Nutritional and habitual factors for oral cancer and precancer among selected Malaysians (Indians, Malays and the Indigenous people of Sarawak). The production of these monographs are proof of the benefits gained by young academics from the University and dental officers in Malaysia who were included in the training and calibration; oral cancer screening and presentations and publications of these research findings. Thus, she not only brought the University of Malaya and Malaysia to the international scene but also nurture and led junior academics in the field of oral oncology Since 2003, she had initiated the Malaysian Oral Cancer Database and Tumour Bank System(a top-down IRPA RMK-8 project), linking data and tissue providers, researchers of different disciplines. With such a system, research on oral cancer in Malaysia shifted from individual/group research to the team science approach. This is a collaborative effort from different institutions namely University of Malaya, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Cancer Research Initiatives Foundation (CARIF) and Ministry of Health Malaysia. As a follow-up to this, her effort was recognized by the University administration where a UM research centre was officially recognized and supported by the University Management with the formation of the Oral Cancer Research and Coordinating Centre at the University of Malaya(OCRCC-UM) in 2005, which she is currently the Director. Teaching Rosnah Zain is an ardent advocate of education of which she is very much involved as a lecturer. In her 30 years at the Faculty of Dentistry as an academic staff, she has dedicated herself not only to be involved in the production of competent dental officers but convinced that the dental graduates are also compassionate and caring. This value she regularly emphasised in her interaction with her students.
