About the Symposium

The Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Postgraduate Research Symposium is a biannual event organized by the Department of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (DTERM), in collaboration with the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Society of Malaysia (TESMA).

This symposium serves as a dedicated platform for postgraduate students and early-career researchers to present their work, exchange knowledge, and connect with peers and mentors in the field. By fostering a supportive academic community, it encourages critical thinking, scientific dialogue, and the sharing of new perspectives across disciplines.

Each year, the symposium highlights the importance of mentorship, collaboration, and networking in advancing research excellence. Through talks, poster presentations, and discussions, participants gain valuable insights and build connections that strengthen both their scientific and professional development.

Letter from the Chairperson
