UTAR NPFASS 2013

Scope
The main idea of this seminar is to bring all the Postgraduates from all over Malaysia to present their Research and Development work pertaining to Science and Technology, to be able to address the importance of scientific investigation towards shaping a platform for identifications of strategic and collaborative research. We in Diagnobio Systems Sdn. Bhd Company offering a wide range of clinical diagnostics test and immunoassay kits for clinics and hospitals can use these sorts of major event as an effective informative platform to develop greater public relationship towards our growth factor.

Presenters
All of the presenters were from local well-performing institutions. For instant Taylors University, University Putra Malaysia (UPM), University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), and University Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR). They were all from diverse backgrounds in Biological Science fields. They created an aptitude towards their Research work and it was obvious when they deliver their work with absolute confidence.

Guest Speakers
It is my immense pleasure to introduce the professional guest speakers. Professor Dr. Tengku Sifzizul Tengku Muhammad Dean of Faculty of Science and Technology, University Malaysia Terengganu Dr. Anthony Ho Siong Hock Dean, School of Biosciences, Taylors University Subang Jaya Professor Dr. Taufiq Yap Yun Hin Founder of the Center of Excellence for catalysis Science and Technology, University Putra Malaysia

RECOMMENDATION

As from the industry point of view, although this kinds of similar events might be thought of a niche and narrow area, but the play the major role in spreading the news and to publicise the new competitors in market from different fields. As a part of growing we must incorporate significant values towards our growth and it doesnt needs to be in the form of funds, rather to be in the form of cross references. To get the information out there to the industry this kinds of events plays a critical roles towards publicising. One the information gets to right individual it will create a chain network which would be the key to our growth. Besides postgraduates, the rest were all doctors who are actively involved in research and development with massive funds from the government and private bodies. Even thou the events were more focused to research but most of the exhibitors present are from different places. . To name a few, Qiagen, Medigene, Science Valley and Axon Scientific were present to support the event while getting their name out to the public. The event management should be more effective in getting out the event information to other well-known institutions and firms so that it would spontaneously drive many more sponsors to take part in the event.

CONCLUSION
My overall experience in the event was delightful. It was very informative in terms of new research and developments and new technology brought forward by the Industries also gained market intelligence information to move forward. Qiagen came up with their breakthrough technology to read Gel image by eliminating the need to use UV light, which is indeed very harmful for the human. It is important for every individual in Biological industries to participate in these kinds of similar events to enjoy the benefits and advantages.
