About
Malka N. Halgamuge is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of nanobiotechnology, cybersecurity, and digital health. Her work spans from the molecular to the systemic, with major contributions in using smart magnetotactic bacteria for targeted cancer therapy—demonstrating how *Magnetospirillum magneticum* AMB-1 can inhibit neuroblastoma under alternating magnetic fields (29 citations). She also addresses critical vulnerabilities in Big Data, cataloging security and privacy challenges that underpin modern data ecosystems (15 citations). In the realm of tele-health, her survey of security issues, attacks, sensors, and implementation frameworks for IoT-based digital health (6 citations) provides a foundational roadmap for safe, scalable healthcare technologies. Halgamuge’s impact is defined by her ability to bridge biological innovation with robust cybersecurity, offering practical solutions for both medical and data-driven fields. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers exploring the future of smart medicine and secure digital infrastructure.
