A meeting run by students, for students
The Malaysian Symposium of Biomedical Sciences is a meeting organised by students, for students, in biomedical science. The eighth edition was hosted by the Department of Biomedical Science at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) Kuantan campus in Bandar Indera Mahkota. Its programme set three aims: give undergraduates a place to share their research, encourage discussion on research and careers, and build interest in research and development among students in Malaysia.
Presentations, posters and a quiz
Students presented their work in oral sessions, grouped into four categories, and in a judged poster session. The programme also listed keynote speakers, a scientific talk, a forum, a biomedical science quiz and a closing ceremony with prizes. The event banner named the participating universities, among them Universiti Malaya, Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, International Medical University, Management and Science University and Asia Metropolitan University.
How Prima Nexus supported it
Prima Nexus supported the symposium. The Prima Nexus logo appeared on the event banner, and participants posed for photos in front of a Prima Nexus backdrop. Today Prima Nexus helps university researchers find the laboratory services, instruments and partner sites their projects need, through its research services.
