RESEARCH & INNOVATION
RESEARCH & INNOVATION
UKM Medical Molecular Biology Institute (UMBI) is a leading institute
on molecular medicine in Malaysia. UMBI was chosen by the Ministry
of Science, Technology and Innovation to lead The Malaysian Cohort
project, a large-scale population studies in Malaysia to date. The project
screened 106,527 participants complete with data on health, lifestyle
and environment and biophysical measurements. Their biospecimens
are kept in TMC Biobank which is arguably the largest bio-repository
in South East Asia. In 2009, UMBI became a Higher Institution Centre
of Excellence (HICOE) which is a recognition given by the Ministry of
Education. UMBI is currently conducting research to identify risk factors,
to study gene-environment interaction and to discover biomarkers for
the early detection of cancers and other diseases.

Malaysias First Fuel Cell Car

Malaysias first indigenous Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicle
was built by UKMs Fuel Cell Institute. It is a golf
buggy powered by a fuel cell engine using a system
known as a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel
Cell/Supercapacitor Hybrid Power. The electrical
power is produced by a stack of fuel cells generated
by electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and
oxygen from the air at low temperatures that produces
water as a by-product. Fuel cell vehicles thus have zero
emission and are clean, green, environmentally friendly
and sustainable. UKM was given the mandate by the
Education Ministry to lead the project to develop a zero
emission vehicle using indigenous fuel cells with a grant
of RM7 million for 3 years.

Keyhole Surgery
UKM made history with keyhole surgery with a 14-day
old baby to remove 95% of his pancreas, making the
pancreatectomy surgery the first of its kind in the world
for patients below 30 days old.

RESEARCH & INNOVATION
Solar Energy Research
UKMs Solar Energy Research Institute was established in July 2005, aimed at finding
alternatives to fossil fuel which has contributed to global warming and environmental
degradation. SERI undertakes research and development to develop renewable energy
technology and expertise in the challenging field. SERI has won numerous awards as
it conducts world-class research in solar energy and renewable energy technology and
management for economic and environmental sustainability. SERIs contributions in
renewable energy research has won recognition from various sources including winning
the gold medal in the Green Tech Awards 2012 in the Greentech University category.

Green Rose
The Green Rose program is a community-based program initiated by the Faculty of
Social Sciences and Humanities involving primary school students and teachers. This
outreach program has been successfully conducted with various industry partners. To
date, the Green Rose program has been implemented in over 90 schools nationwide
and over 3000 students. The program introduces the ROSE approach reduce, offset,
substitute and enhance-to inculcate green values among young children, their families
and the school community.

The objective of this program is to raise awareness among young children and
emphasizes on the importance of acting as an individual and as a community to make
a difference on issues relating to climate change. It is also to empower the young
children, their families and the school community by providing the knowledge and
tools for monitoring and measuring their energy consumption and reducing their
energy footprint through multimodal environmental literacy materials and eco-science-
based activities.

Community & Industry Strategic
Alliances & Engagement
In the quest to develop, maintain and sustain UKM as the leading player in the establishment of mutually
beneficial partnerships between university, industry and community, structured governance and innovative
policy has been established for effective implementation. This is true at national, regional and global level.

UKM is building strategic alliances and network with the community surrounding the university area in
Bangi, Selangor and also communities around the living labs located in various parts of Malaysia. Among
the humanitarian activities work done include or were helping flood victims in Johor, Kelantan, Terengganu,
Pahang, Perak and adopting several schools and communities for academic and community sustainability.
We also rendered assistance to national disaster management effort through our counselling experts.

One of UKMs successful projects with the community is Crystal (Creative Youths Through Innovative
Learning) by the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment and Faculty of Information Science and
Technology that focus on guiding the students in schools to enhance their creativity via the use of
microchips. The UKM students are mentors and facilitate the creativity of the students. UKM is the first
public university to provide free legal service to public through the UKM legal aid clinic. It has successfully
assisted members of the public who have limited resources lawyers who handle the cases pro bono.

UKM has established good relations with industry and has signed several MoUs and MoAs, for example
with Sime Darby Foundation for the development of sport facilities, CIMB Foundation in organizing
conferences and events, UEM and PINTAR Foundation for research and development. Such innovative
industry and community engagement partnerships support and strengthen research, education and service
at UKM.

UKM will also establish Malaysias first Health Technopolis at its medical and health campus where cutting
edge medical research and development can be carried out. The huge amount of data from the medical
and health science faculties in UKM will be merged and integrated to form the basis of Health Technopolis.

Through such partnerships UKM continues to work with industries such as Sime Darby, FELDA, MK Land and
AGA Zone as part of its initiatives in preserving nature, marine life and the environment.

UKM engages with various communities at home and abroad in issues that include disaster management,
sustainability, human well-being and economic development.

A university that engages both industry

and community brings about mutual
benefits to enhance intellectual, social
and economic well-being.
