Message from the Director

Dear Valued Subscribers

Good to meet again. It was also great meeting some of you in person during last week’s Biotech Asia 2006 held at PWTC, Kuala Lumpur. With so much talks and happenings in this field in Malaysia, it is only natural to harbour high hopes for this industry to grow and prosper in an accelerated mode. Let’s all put our acts together to achieve this.

I am pleased to announce the proceeding of the workshop conducted in July 2005 on “The Sustainable Utilization of Biodiversity and the Related Issues on Biosafety in an Islamic Perspective” has been released. Click here for the PDF version of the proceeding.

We are currently busy planning and organizing a major scientific conference on Plant Tissue Culture and Agribiotechnology. Visit the conference website for more details. MABIC is also involved in organizing the 8th National Biology Symposium which is spearheaded by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. More information on this event is available here.

We will be pleased to hear from you should you have any comments or suggestions that will help us to improve our services.

Sincerely,

Mahaletchumy Arujanan
Program Director
