Ό―ΓΐΒιΆΉ has secured a Β£1.8 million (approximately RM10.3 million) international research grant from the Wellcome Trust to lead a global study on the role of mangrove conservation in planetary health.
The project is led by Dr. Nur Hazlin Hazrin Chong from the Department of Biological Sciences and Biotechnology, Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), Ό―ΓΐΒιΆΉ.
