MANAGEMENT Director’s Foreword BRIMS is a young institute where members work in collegiality with a passion for science. We aim to provide a unique opportunity to work across key disciplines to achieve multiple aims in Brain Science. Over the last ten years, BRIMS has witnessed significant growth in neuroscience. We are excited about the continuing potential for science in Malaysia and hope to continue to expand the frontiers of reproductive brain ageing. BRIMS has successfully formed linkages with local and international institutes through various research projects. I hope that BRIMS will become a core and a catalyst for multi-disciplinary, integrated, and collaborative researches that can be promoted and developed amongst institutions to enhance neuroscience research output in the Asia-Oceania region. Professor Ishwar Parhar Director of Brain Research Institute Monash Sunway (BRIMS) For this purpose, we will be guided by our vision of becoming an internationally recognised leader in neuroscience research. With our talented researchers and administrators, BRIMS hopes to contribute to capacity building in Malaysia by providing platform technologies, technical expertise as well as training opportunities for students and researchers.
