Centre for Research in Biotechnology for Agriculture - CEBAR Scope of CEBAR:
Biosecurity and Biosafety for Tropical Agricultural Bioeconomy

The Centre for Research in Biotechnology for Agriculture (CEBAR) is a centre of research excellence at the University of Malaya whose mission is to “create a platform for world class research, development, applications and training with outputs and products that interface between the fundamental and applied sciences.” In addition to its focus on research, a major objective of CEBAR is also to stre

ngthen, promote and synergize links with industry with a vision to bridge academic research and industry needs. Current focus of CEBAR is on biosecurity and biosafety for topical agricultural systems. This encompasses traditional areas (food, feed, biomaterials) and emerging areas (biofuel/energy, bioindustrial and biopharmaceutical), targeting niche areas such as genetic resources and diversity (agricultural plants, fresh water animals), gene discovery (genomics, transcriptome, proteomics, metabolomics, etc), transgenic research (plant / animal / microbe), production systems (tissue culture / reactor), biological/physical containment and related social, policy and legal matters.

Many studies have demonstrated the importance of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in communication between plants. VOCs emitted by a plant damaged by herbivory promote defenses in nearby plants.

Spent my “Hari Raya” giving an invited lecture for the Women in Sciences section of the 18th International Collaboration for Genomics meeting in Singapore 😁 also gave me a chance to try in Impossible burger - not bad actually (but not as tasty as rendang 😉)

Pictures from a fruitful workshop on Special Projects proposal held by CEBAR earlier this week. It was the first face-to-face CEBAR P.I. gathering after a long time. Many brilliant ideas and comments were discussed and refined by members before being put into the concept paper. Kudos to everyone involved. 👏💪🙂

On-ground solar panels take away a critical resource that is land, but through agrivoltaics, we can help dual-purpose the land.
