Thus researchers have to determine which ones can be used for the good of the people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Considerations for promotions are also given to academic staff who are actively involved in research as well as teaching, graduate supervision and publications, she said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The symposium which has become an annual gathering is aimed at encouraging productive dialogues between those involved in the biomedical science field as well as providing opportunities for networking and fruitful connections between the universities involved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also present were Dean of the Health Sciences Faculty Prof Dr Zamratol-Mai Sarah Mukari, Chairman of the School of Diagnostic Applied Health Sciences UKM Prof Dato\u2019 Dr Jamaludin Mohamed and Head of Biomedical Science Programme\u00a0 Assoc Prof Dr Siti Balkis Budin who chaired the event.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Icon\/ukmnewsportal.png\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"border\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Campus2014\/bioperubatan2.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"border\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Campus2014\/bioperubatan3.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WEDNESDAY, 14 MAY 2014 13:26 By Saiful Bahri Kamaruddin Pix Ikhwan Hashim KUALA LUMPUR, 10 May 2014 \u2013 Research in<a class=\"tukm-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/archive\/tahun-2014\/mei-2014\/medical-research-should-result-in-products-that-matter\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4935,"parent":1116,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4934","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4934"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4934\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4937,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4934\/revisions\/4937"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1116"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
