Rate My Professor Enoch Perimal

Dr. Perimal's research specializations include physiology, neuroscience, and pharmacology, with a focus on neuropathic pain pathways and drug discovery. His investigations employ in vivo, in vitro, and in silico models to explore pain mechanisms and develop novel molecules for chronic pain management. He has authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals, achieving a Scopus h-index of 20, and has supervised multiple PhD students to completion. Key publications include 'Elucidating zerumbone's low-efficacy agonism at the μ-opioid receptor using computational and pharmacological approaches' (2025), 'Cardio- and neuroprotective effects by pretreatment of dietary moringin from Moringa oleifera seeds and cDMoringin formulation in a rat model of isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction' (2025), 'Mapping partial agonism of mitragynine at the µ-opioid receptor using computational and pharmacological approaches' (2026, Scientific Reports), and 'Validating the Threat of a Virtual Reality Clinical Environment: A Mixed Methods Study' (2024, Applied Sciences). At Curtin University, he coordinates the HUMB1001 Integrated Systems Anatomy and Physiology unit and brings extensive expertise in curriculum development and accreditation for medical and health sciences programs. In 2023, he contributed to a Curtin Medical School team recognized in the Curtin University Research and Engagement Awards for research engagement excellence.
