:: Lab Visit from UiTM students ::


On 27th December 2012 and 7th January 2013, we welcomed Mr. Syazwan and his students from the Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Mara, Penang to our lab to share some information on algae culture for their final year projects.


Mr. Syazwan and his students


 Even though it was a short visit, we hope that the students managed to acquire some knowledge in which they can apply in their project. We are looking forward to our future collaborations; feel free to visit us again next time.

Cheers



:: New Culture Room ::


At last, our micro algae got a new home, and it is definitely bigger than before.

Culture racks with fluorescent light


Growth chamber for polar species 


With this new culture room and our existing expertise, we are planning to create our own micro algae culture collection. Hopefully, everything will go according to the plan.
