Science wins! MEPs vote in favour of supporting greater use of New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs) in the EU. This is a huge step toward more sustainable agriculture. Thank you to everyone who has taken action toward this outcome. 💚🎉

@GohLab @NCKU_official @INBIOSIS @ukm_my Congratulations 🎉👍

Glad to be selected among five out of the 51 applicants to visit NCKU @NCKU_official this coming December (3-7) for research collaborative research discussion and public lecture @INBIOSIS @ukm_my

At the National #Biotechnology Symposium 2023, excited to hear the opening speech from the Minister of MOSTI @changlihkang
