Give More Rooms For Young Researchers, Says Award Winner

PENANG, Jan 7 (Bernama)

Award winning researcher Prof Datuk Dr Khalid Abdul Kadir has urged local universities to give more rooms to young people to conduct their research.

Prof Khalid, one of five recipients of the inaugural Merdeka Award, said that young researchers should be funded to conduct their research, adding that the result of their research should be published.

He said this after kicking-off his inaugural Merdeka Award Lecture Series themed, 'Hormones, Stress and Metabolism: A 30-year Journey' at the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) here today.

Prof Khalid advised young researchers to understand medical clinical research as it could be quite an arduous journey.

"Collaborating with a group of intelligent and enthusiastic people is important as research is a team effort," he noted.
