The content of the forum is very useful for our students (especially in biology area) because they discussed about the current and future scenario in biotechnology-related industry. Attached together with this email are the slides from the speaker. You are encouraged to share the useful points from the slides to our students. But “Do kindly take note that participants are required to obtain permission to reproduce materials / photographs and other copyright requirement by the speakers” (reminder from the organizer).

The main objective of this forum is actually to introduce JOHOR BIO TALENT DEVELOPMENT CENTRE (JBDTC). The objective of JBDTC are:

1)      To sustain human capital demand for the industry through strengthening the cooperation between the training institutes and biotechnology industry

2)      A mechanism which aims to produce human capital that meets the requirements of specific industries.

3)      To promote knowledge and technology sharing and research and development amongst the participating organizations.

After this, we are going to have close collaboration with JBTDC. There will be a lot of joining programs with JBDTC especially in terms of industrial linkages, students training, industrial attachment, human capital developments etc.

Thanks to Prof Dr Fahrul, PM Dr Madihah, Dr Wan Rosmiza, Dr Siti Pauliena, Dr Norahim, Dr Zaidah, PM Dr Shafinaz, PM Dr Zaharah for joining this MPN program
