About the meeting

MSPP 2017 was the 31st scientific meeting of the Malaysian Society of Pharmacology and Physiology. The society organised it together with the Health Campus of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), and the sessions took place at the School of Dental Sciences on that campus. Researchers and students from several universities took part, including USM and Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM).

What the programme covered

The meeting covered pharmacology, physiology, biochemistry, natural products, complementary medicine, clinical studies, pharmaceutical sciences, molecular biology, toxicology, pharmacogenetics and drug utilisation. Researchers presented their work as oral talks and as posters. The second announcement also listed a hands-on pre-conference workshop on natural product extraction methods for 17 August 2017.

The confirmed speakers were Professor Datuk Dr Asma Ismail, Dato' Professor Dr Jafri Malin Abdullah and Professor Dr Aida Hanum Ghulam Rasool of USM, Professor Soong Tuck Wah of the National University of Singapore, and Professor Dr Nafeeza Mohd Ismail of UiTM.

Prima Nexus's part
