Outline
Our team aims to isolate novel biological active compounds from tropical plants found in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia. To achieve this, we collaborate in the construction of a chemical library, validation of biological activities and determination of target molecules at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). As a result of the utilization of the chemical library, new drugs for tropical diseases in Southeast Asia will be developed.
