Biomedical & Health Sciences Research Platform Biomedical and health research is one of the main niche research areas in USM. For many years, USM researchers within the biomedical research area, comprising mainly of those from the School of Medical Sciences, School of Health Sciences and School of Dental Sciences have garnered various national and international recognition. In 2001, an internal research assessment exercise carried out by the Advisory Committee to the Vice - Chancellor concluded that the Medical Biotechnology group is the only research group that can be considered to have attained a “World Class” status based on a set of criteria, although the impact of the research group is still at a moderate level. To further strengthen and promote this area as a major niche research area for USM, the university established the Institute for Research in Molecular Medicine or INFORMM in 2002. Members of INFORMM are co-opted from various Schools, thus strengthening the cross-disciplinary concept of research within the biomedical and health fields. This cross-disciplinary concept helps extract the best of people and pulmogorate the exchange of expertise amongst each other and cross border activities. The success of the Medical Biotechnology group lies in the strong collaboration between its members and between its graduate students. They share facilities, reagents and the lecturers even informally co-supervise each other’s students – negative competition between individual researchers is therefore at a very minimum. Thus the concept of cross-disciplinary research and the spirit of working and thinking as a group are already deeply rooted within the medical biotechnology research group. Furthermore, this “research culture” is readily extended to other researchers who intend to venture into the medical biotechnology or biomedical fields. Various research clusters such as the tuberculosis research cluster, the cervical cancer research cluster, and recently the neuronetwork cluster have been created. Therefore it can be said that a major part of the “Biomedical and Health Sciences Research Platform” concept is already ongoing and functioning even before the “research platform” structure is formally set up. In other words, the concept of cross-disciplinary research was established for many years at Health Campus, USM. It has benefited from the successes of such collaboration from other Schools including those from the Engineering Campus are already working in concert with researchers in the Health Campus and have secured many research grants and had achieved many awards.
Some of the awards are: School of Health Science • Cornsilk Biscuit - Silver Medal MTE 2009 • Cornsilk Images - Best and Second Best Photomicrographs 6th ASEAN Microscopy Conference 2007 • An Optical Sensing Material for Glutamate Detection in Food – Silver Medal MTE 2007 Institute for Research in Molecular Medicine (INFORMM) • PCRDisk - IENA Special Award for Best Invention dan JIPA Award for the Best Invention in Biotechnology ITEX2009 • EZTYPHI CARRIER DNA - Geneva 2006 • EZCAMPY DNA - Geneva 2006 • TYPHIrapid – Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (Malaysia) • Wbrapid: a test for the rapid, sensitive and specific detection of Wucherreria bancrofthi filaria infection - ITEX 2006 School of Pharmacy • Eurynones: A Potential Herba-Based Anti Malarial Product – Gold Medal PECIPTA 2007 • Haruan Spray for Burns and Wound – Bronze MTE 2007 • Metabolite Fingerprinting for Standardising Tongkat Ali Herbal Products – Bronze MTE 2007 School of Medical Sciences • Cholera Genosensor: A DNA-Based Kit for the Rapid Detection of Vibrio Cholerae – Gold PECIPTA 2007 • Innovative Hip Spica Brace – Gold The British Innovation and Technology Show (BIS 2007), London School of Chemical Engineering • Ncmem-Indigenous Biomedical lateral Flow Membrane – GOLD ITEX 2009 For More Details Contact: Prof. Dr. Syed Mohsin Sahil Jamalullail Research Dean, Biomedical & Health Sciences Research Platform, Universiti Sains Malaysia 16150, Kubang Kerian Kelantan, MALAYSIA Tel: +609-767 2362(office), +609-767 2363(direct line) Fax: +609-764 8064 Email: smohsin@kb.usm.my Visit more on: http://www.research.kk.usm.my/index.htm
