These presentations were the students’ final year projects and are part of the 17 oral presentations and 45 poster presentations at this seminar. The winning presentation by Ashwinder Kaur was titled “Virtual Screening of Chemical Compounds on Heat Shock Protein 70 in Toxoplasma Gondii” while Chee Phui Mun’s winning poster was titled “Virtual Screening of Chemical Compounds on Heat Shock Protein 60 of Toxoplasma Gondii”.
Besides the Biomedical Science students, students from Medical Biotechnology, Ling Zhi Ni and Yue Simei, also presented their final year projects at the same seminar. The Intervarsity Biochemistry Seminar is an annual event organised by the Malaysian Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (MSBMB). This seminar serves as a platform for undergraduate students to present and share their research findings, exchange ideas and research experiences particularly in the biochemistry, molecular biology and biotechnology fields. This year, Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus was the host for this seminar which was attended by over 600 participants comprising students and lecturers from higher institutions from all over Malaysia.
Congratulations to our Biomedical Science students!
