The Department of Biomedical Engineering & Health Sciences, UTM, was honoured to host the Cognitive Neuroscience Club from the Faculty of Cognitive Sciences & Human Development, UNIMAS, together with our BIOMEHS Club students. Through VORTEX – Venturing into Outstanding Research, Technology and Educational Explorations, the program brought together knowledge sharing, exchange of ideas, and meaningful cultural experiences in one vibrant day.

A beautiful Rhythms of Sarawak cultural performance and an interactive Laksa Sarawak cooking session were truly a feast for both the eyes and taste buds 😋. In return, we treated our guests to local Johor delicacies, especially the iconic Laksa Johor, giving them a flavour of our own culture to savour. The experience continued with lab visits to Motion Analysis, Biomechanics, Thermal, and Neuroengineering labs, offering a glimpse into the world of biomedical engineering.

Thank you to Dr Atiyah and Dr Norhasmira for the initiative and effort in making this program a success. Here’s to new friendships, stronger collaborations, and memories worth cherishing. May the connections built continue to grow and create impactful opportunities in the future.

This artwork beautifully represents the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and is creatively illustrated by our talented student, Muhammad Iskandar Maizunir, also known as “Iscdr” iscdrgraphy. The piece reflects the fusion of diverse fields within the faculty ranging from electrical, biomedical, power, electronics, and communication, coming together as one dynamic family.

Through vibrant visuals and thoughtful details, the artwork captures the spirit of creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving that defines our faculty.

Wishing everyone all the best and good luck in the final examinations. May your hard work and dedication lead you to success

With full hearts and genuine joy, Dr. Hanif and the team from the UTM Bone Biomechanics Laboratory (UTM BBL) were honoured to deliver a prosthetic leg to our colleague and friend, Mr. Adi. This CSR effort means a lot to us because it reflects care, compassion, and the simple desire to help someone move forward.

Being part of Mr. Adi’s journey is truly special to us. We are happy and grateful to support him in gaining greater comfort, mobility, and independence, and we hope this contribution brings him confidence and positivity in his daily life. Moments like these remind us that kindness and teamwork can make a real difference.

INDUSTRIAL KNOWLEDGE SHARING SESSION

The Department of Biomedical Engineering & Health Science, Faculty of Electrical (FKE), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) successfully organised an Industrial Knowledge Sharing Session on Biomedical Equipment Maintenance Services (BEMS) in Malaysian public hospitals. The programme was conducted as part of the activities for master’s students under the course MKEB 1023 Hospital Operation and Management, coordinated by Dr. Lukman Hakim bin Ismail.

The session was delivered by Pn DzatuI Ithri Binti Amran, Jurutera Elektronik from the Bahagian Perkhidmatan Kejuruteraan, Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM). She provided valuable insights into the management and maintenance of biomedical equipment in public hospitals and discussed real-world practices and operational challenges. The session also emphasised the importance of effective maintenance services to ensure patient safety and healthcare efficiency.

The programme enhanced participants’ understanding of biomedical equipment maintenance within Malaysia’s healthcare system and strengthened the link between academia and industry.
The Department extends its sincere appreciation to Pn DzatuI Ithri Binti Amran as the representatives from KKM for her valuable time and expertise, with the hope that this collaboration will continue in the future.

Crystal Tiong Hui Man, a third-year PhD student from the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Health Sciences, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), had been awarded the prestigious Canada-ASEAN Scholarships and Educational Exchanges for Development (SEED) to undertake a research attachment at Lakehead University, Canada, during the Fall 2025 semester. With financial support amounting to CAD $10,200, this programme provided a valuable international platform for Crystal to advance her work on nanofiber drug delivery systems under the joint guidance of her home supervisor, Dr Nurizzati Mohd Daud, and her host supervisor, Professor Dr Pedram Fatehi.
During her attachment at Lakehead University, Crystal had received intensive hands-on training in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), enabling her to independently design and execute chromatographic methods for drug quantification. She applied HPLC to study the drug release behaviour and digestion stability of her nanofiber formulations, particularly in simulated gastrointestinal environments, generating detailed kinetic profiles that will deepen understanding of how formulation parameters influence oral drug delivery performance. In parallel, she had conducted transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses on her nanofiber samples to probe their inner structures and molecular-level interactions, thereby linking with functional outcomes such as encapsulation efficiency and controlled release.

This research attachment significantly enhanced her technical expertise, scientific output, and international research exposure. By integrating advanced HPLC, TEM and NMR capabilities into her PhD project, she was able to produce more rigorous, publication-ready data and build a stronger mechanistic foundation for her nanofiber drug delivery system. The skills, knowledge, and collaborations developed at Lakehead University were not only accelerate her doctoral progress but also contributed to strengthening research capacity in biomaterials and analytical characterization within UTM and the broader Malaysian scientific community.

From 24–28 November, the BIOMEHS Club had an amazing academic and industrial visit to Peking University Shenzhen 🇨🇳.

Our journey was packed with learning and inspiration. We conducted a 3D modelling workshop with postgraduate students, attended insightful lectures by distinguished professors, and explored advanced research facilities including Shenzhen Bay Laboratory. We were also privileged to visit Salubris, a leading pharmaceutical company driving R&D innovation in Shenzhen, as well as the Pingshan Translational Medicine Center, a vibrant hub for translational research and start-ups.

A heartfelt thank you to Peking University Shenzen for the warm hospitality and unforgettable experience from day one. We truly appreciate the opportunity to build knowledge, connections, and future collaborations.

Looking forward to more visits and meaningful partnerships ahead!

Xièxiè, Shenzhen!
