Access to state-of-the-art research facilities, including cutting-edge laboratories, empowers researchers at UoM to embark on pioneering investigations that drive scientific advancement. Moreover, these resources facilitate collaboration not only within the UoM across different faculties but also with external organisations. Researchers can thus effectively address multifaceted societal challenges, leveraging their collective expertise and resources for impactful solutions.
