I attended MONASH INITIATE Malaysia conference held on 25-26 October 2023. This event offered a fantastic platform to delve deeper into the realms of drug discovery, life sciences, and clinical pharmacy.
This opportunity not only broadened my knowledge but also reignited my passion for the field of pharmacy and drug discovery. I am eager to continue learning and growing in this dynamic field!
In addition to the conference itself, I was fortunate to receive travel fellowship assistance from the SHODH fellowship, which made attending the event possible and enhanced my engagement throughout.
The conference program covered various aspects of drug discovery, including an insightful session on computer-aided drug design that offered collaborative insights into cutting-edge methodologies.
Moreover, the hands-on workshop on fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) was particularly enriching, providing practical experience and deepening my understanding of this critical technique in biomedical research. Visiting Gleneagles Medical Centre in Singapore was also a highlight, offering a real-world perspective on clinical practices and expanding my horizons in clinical pharmacy.
Overall, the MONASH INITIATE Malaysia conference was a transformative experience that not only expanded my knowledge base but also fostered valuable connections and practical skills essential for my career. I look forward to applying these insights and contributing further to the field of pharmacy and drug discovery in the future!
