{slider-nested Using Chemical Biology to Promote Transdisciplinary Research|closed}

Chemical Biology is the use of chemistry to promote biological knowledge. More specifically, CCB is interested in discovering and utilizing powerful molecules to gain a better understanding on selected biological pathways. The Centre for Chemical Biology at the Universiti Sains Malaysia (CCB USM) is a world-class, cutting-edge research centre that is borderless, colourless, and genderless. Conceptualized at the beginning of 2008 and officially endorsed by the Ministry of Higher Education on 3 February 2009, the challenge for CCB USM is to create a vibrant research environment with state-of-the-art facilities and more importantly, driven exciting research questions.
