Welcoming Message for Monash Science Symposium 2018
From the Head's Desk
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Monash Science Symposium 2018 organised by Science postgraduate students of Monash University Malaysia, for the fifth time.
The passion for science is the key to the launch of the Monash Science Symposium. “Passions Converge, Ideas Emerge” is the theme for this year. Science is an essential discipline to explore the unknown and to find solution for various challenges in our daily lives. Sharing the advances in science and building networks at the symposium will be valuable especially among the younger generation who will be moving towards the academia or other industries.
The symposium will serve as a platform for emerging ideas in the area of applied microbiology, cell and molecular biology, chemistry and drug discovery, environmental and agricultural sciences, genomics and bioinformatics, and food science and technology. I look forward to seeing you at the symposium in Monash University Malaysia.
