Dr Amalina Che Bakri has officially earned her PhD in Surgical Innovation and Breast Cancer from Imperial College London.

She posted pictures of her graduation on her official Instagram, including a heartfelt message to her daughters, Arabella and Aurora.

In her message, she expressed her hope that her daughters would one day understand that she pursued her PhD out of love for them.

During all the long nights away from home, Amalina admitted there were times she felt guilty and was worried she wasn’t doing enough as a parent. But in those moments, she shared that her love for her daughters never wavered.

She hoped her daughters would look back on this day and be proud of their mum because she tried for herself, the world, and both of them.

According to Imperial College London’s official website, Amalina’s research focuses on the use of wearable technology to improve surgical and patient outcomes. Her work encompassed the use of artificial intelligence and radiomics, an advanced medical imaging technique that uses AI-driven algorithms to extract massive amounts of quantitative data from standard medical scans like CT, MRI, and Positron Emission Tomography (PET).

Amalina graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2013 with a medical degree. She also completed a BmedSc in Pharmacology and an ERASMUS exchange at Leiden University in the Netherlands.

She then did an internship at Harvard Medical School in the United States, followed by foundation training in Cambridge. At the University of Cambridge, she completed a Master’s in Translational Medicine and Therapeutics.

During her surgical training in London, she was awarded the prestigious Darzi Clinical Research Fellowship.

Amalina also actively shares medical knowledge on social media for medical students, junior doctors, and the public.

Her contributions earned her various accolades, including being Highly Commended at the UK Women of the Future Awards (2021), the Inspirational Youth Award from the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Malaysia, and the Muslim National Award from the King of Malaysia.
