UMS researchers in North Borneo Biostation
Recently we enjoyed a visit of PhD student Yoong Soon Yong from University Malaysia Sabah. He was diving in our nearby reefs to collect samples of sponges and soft corals for a very interesting metabolomics study of marine invertebrates chemical compound (UMS Metabolomics Research Team). This work might have promising applications in new pharmacological substances including those for cancer treatment.
