Transforming Health Locally and Globally: FMHS Research & Collaboration
The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS) has conducted various research activities from bench to bedside with a glocal outlook - benefiting and transforming the health and wellness of local communities and impacting the global communities in various biomedical areas. The faculty has also established collaborative networks with other faculties within the university, various local public and private universities, industrial partners including pharmaceutical industries as well as various international institutions. The description that follows provide a snapshot of what we are doing and we certainly welcome more collaborative networking and research fellowship opportunities from individuals and institutions, both within the country and beyond.

Research Centre
The Malaria Research Centre (MRC) was established as one of the two Centres of Excellence by UNIMAS in January 2006. This was in recognition of the major contributions to malaria research by Prof Balbir Singh, Prof Janet Cox-Singh and co-researchers at the Malaria Research Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. These two scientists joined UNIMAS in 1999 to establish laboratory-based research in the new Medical Faculty and with financial support from UNIMAS, they were instrumental in designing and equipping state-of-the-art research laboratories. The acquisition of research grants from Wellcome Trust, United Kingdom, the Malaysian Ministry of Science, Technology and the Environment and UNIMAS, enabled them to train young scientists and establish an active group of researchers working on malaria.
"Initially, we thought it was just one or two cases, but what we found out was virtually everything that's been identified as P. malariae has been P. knowlesi."
