Dr. Shaikh Mohd Saifuddeen is a researcher in the field of ethics, particularly Islamic bioethics. His expertise is in the interaction between religion and science. Throughout his career, which began in 1996, he has served both public and private research institutions and academia. He has contributed to discussions on the ethical dimensions of science, technology, medicine, and the environment from an Islamic perspective. His work focuses on integrating Islamic principles and values with contemporary issues, fostering understanding between traditional ethics and modern scientific challenges. His current research project on gamete cell cryopreservation from an Islamic perspective aims to address the Islamic moral status of the technology. The technology has the potential to help cancer patients at risk of infertility after cancer treatment to achieve biological parenthood by undergoing in-vitro fertilisation. As this technology is available in Malaysia, the research is important in that it provides guidance to patients with needs for this technology.
