RESEARCH PROJECT | BACK TO TOP

National (at the national level)

• An exploratory study on the presence and expressions of cyanobacterial toxin encoding genes in Penang recreational and drinking water reservoirs 
• Exploring the ability of palm oil trunk and selected crop waste to control the toxin-producing cyanobacteria  
• Effecting zero waste management practices among farmers via knowledge transfer to community college instructors and a select farming community
