We are pleased to announce The Professorial Public Lecture of Prof. Dr. Tang Thean Hock Non protein-coding RNA (sRNA): identification, function and applications The lecture is open to the public and held at the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) , Kepala Batas (Penang) on Friday (29 July 2016) beginning at 9.00 am .

Recently, our group has published a book chapter in  Contemporary Issues and Development in the Global Halal Industry entitled " A Combined Rapid DNA Extraction and Multiplex PCR for the Detection of Porcine DNA in Raw and Processed Food ". This study has been previously presented at the  International Halal Conference in 2014. Abstract:

We would like to extend our heartiest congratulation to one of our members, Lee Li Pin, for successfully defending her doctorate thesis entitled "Mapping transcriptional start site and identification of novel sRNA in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv" at a viva voce.
