RESEARCH/CONFERENCE ACTIVITIES
In 2014, KPJUC also strengthened its research and development
(R&D) activities. The focus on clinical research in KPJUC is
conducive for Master’s and PhD students, which are growing in
numbers. In line with this, KPJUC invested in building its own
animal house at the cost of RM200,000. The animals are used in
various pharmacy related experiments under the supervision of
Animal Ethics Committees (AECs).
KPJUC’s R&D programmes enjoy strong support from the KPJ
