Dr Jezamine Lim is a real star in stem cell research. After getting her PhD in stem cells and tissue engineering from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, she made history as the first woman to graduate in her specific field. After a brilliant academic career, she set up Cell Biopeutics Resources (CBR) to make stem cell therapies more available to people.
Jezamine is driven to see tangible outcomes from scientific research. She believes that research must lead to real-world applications; otherwise, it risks wasting time and funding.
One of her most exciting innovations is Cutisera, an amazing anti-ageing skincare product derived from the nutrient-rich medium used to grow human bone marrow stem cells. It was a real discovery that this discarded medium had proteins and growth factors that actually benefit the skin.

So, can science and beauty really go hand in hand?
The answer is yes! Her scientific work and beauty ventures support each other. While developing skincare solutions, she also conducts medical research through CBR (Cell Biopeutics Resources) and explores therapies for Buerger's disease to offer hope to underserved patients. But that's not all! She even founded The Joke Factory, a comedy club in Kuala Lumpur, showing her dedication to cultural development alongside her scientific work.
How does she do it all—and still find time for family?
As a hands-on mother of three, she believes in raising grounded, independent children. From enforcing discipline to encouraging self-responsibility, her parenting style is just as committed as her work. Dr Jezamine Lim is not just a woman in science—she's a real powerhouse, seamlessly juggling her roles as a researcher, entrepreneur, creative, and mum.
She knows the world can often make women feel like they have to choose between things, but she's here to tell you that you don't have to! You can have it all, and you can be everything you want to be.
