could be used by the radiologists to examine medical images and annotate these images, thereby transferring their expertise into a machine-readable format or by computer scientists to develop new image analysis and 3D visualisation algorithms that could be helpful in tumor delineation and quantification for clinical research and drug testing.

Institute for Research in Molecular Medicine (INFORMM) Institute for Research in Molecular Medicine (INFORMM) is USM’s first research institute that grew from a biotechnology cluster-based multi-disciplinary collaboration. Located in both the Penang Main Campus and the Kelantan branch Health Campus, INFORMM offers two working environments suited to staff and students preferences. Research at INFORMM INFORMM is a research institute formed to promote research in molecular medicine. It owes its birth to an originating research by its Founding Director who brought research at USM to a new level, translating it from the bench to the bedside and proving the applicability of the “closed cycle, R-D-C-E-O concept”. Research at INFORMM is developed based on the clear local and global need for a more effective approach to prevent and manage human diseases yielding results and products that are of quality, affordable, accessible and sustainable. Our research is built from the very fundamental beginnings like the identification of ‘novel’ constituents of putative molecules for the diseases as well as for the disease causing agents. For typhoid and filariasis for instance, molecular approaches are developed to improve characterization of the putative molecules that would be developed into cost-effective diagnostic investigations that would also result in diagnostic tests to identify individuals who are predisposed to the diseases so as to help develop a more effective preventive approach. Responses to treatment, including development of adverse events to drugs used in treatment, will also be linked to molecular mechanisms and diagnostic tests. Achievements Recognitions conferred on the Institute and its staff and students, as evidenced by the numerous awards and prizeswon, have instilled confidence and pride for the nation. In addition, staff achievements have raised the status of INFORMM to a world-class level. Some of the prestigious awards conferred on INFORMM include: • Centre of Excellence of Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia • Islamic Development Bank (IDB) Prizes for Science & Technology (Award for Islamic Banking and Financing fromKing Abdullah), 2008
