The new partnership between the Pandemic Sciences Institute (PSI) and Universiti Malaysia Sabah marks a significant milestone in their collaborative efforts.
The Memorandum of Understanding, signed this month, signifies a commitment to strengthening collaborative research, educational exchanges and joint initiatives in the field of pandemic sciences. The partnership aims to foster impactful research and development that benefits global public health.
The collaboration will focus on a number of key areas, starting with research into infectious diseases through a "living laboratory" approach. One of the first projects will be the establishment of the Zoonotic and Vector-Borne Disease Living Lab at UMS, which will provide critical insights into the diseases that affect the region.
Colleagues from across PSI welcomed a delegation from UMS on 8 November 2024 for a roundtable discussion to launch the partnership.
As part of the visit, colleagues toured the laboratory of Professor Miles Carroll, seeing first-hand the current research activities and meeting with PSI staff and students.
