Shehab joined the Clinical Trial Service Unit and Epidemiological Studies Unit (CTSU) as an NDPH Research Trainee Fellow in 2023. Shehab’s ongoing research is focused on examining the impact of adiposity on cardio-metabolic diseases in diverse ethnic populations using the Malaysian Cohort study, which is a blood-based prospective study of 110,000 participants representing diverse ethnic groups in Southeast Asia.
