On June 24th, 2025 (Tuesday), students of SSCT2453 – Product Recovery in Biotechnology had the opportunity to gain real-world insights into the applications of downstream product technology through an engaging industrial exposure session.
This session focused on the significance of downstream processes in producing high-value biotechnology products such as vaccines, antibiotics, enzymes, and other bio-based items that are widely used in the agriculture, medical, and industrial sectors.
We were honoured to welcome Encik Afiq Khir Annuar, a proud alumnus of the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Biology and Master of Biosciences (Research). Currently serving as a downstream product specialist at Biocon Sdn Bhd, Encik Afiq shared his valuable experience and perspectives on the role of downstream technologies in the pharmaceutical industry.
The session not only enriched students’ understanding of industrial applications but also inspired them to explore future career paths in biotechnology.
Thank you, Encik Afiq, for returning as an alumni role model and igniting interest in this crucial area of biotechnology!
