Joining them are one accompanying teacher and two representatives of the Erudition Group, China. Running from 20 July to 14 August 2026, this four-week international mobility programme offers participants an enriching blend of molecular medicine research, practical laboratory training and cultural exchange.
A four-week mobility programme uniting 28 students and delegates from four Chinese medical institutions for research training and cultural exchange at INFORMM USM.
Research Training & Cultural Immersion
Throughout the programme, participants will attend lectures delivered by INFORMM researchers and gain hands-on laboratory experience through the Early Scientist Explorer (ESE) Programme. Under the guidance of INFORMM researchers and postgraduate students, participants will learn essential molecular biology techniques, including DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and molecular imaging.
Beyond the lecture hall and laboratory, participants will experience Malaysia's rich cultural heritage through traditional activities, community engagement programmes and visits to iconic attractions in Penang, including George Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These experiences are designed to foster international friendship, cultural appreciation, and meaningful academic collaboration.
Strengthening Academic Partnerships
INFORMM is honoured to host this programme and is looking forward to providing an inspiring learning environment while further strengthening its partnerships with collaborating institutions in China. The Institute wishes all participants a rewarding, memorable and enjoyable stay at Universiti Sains Malaysia and in Penang.
