Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference in Malaysia 2020:Panel Session 1 “Personalized and Artificial Food from the Perspective of Halal” Panelist Announcement!

The second Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference in Malaysia 2020 (HIC MY 2020) is just around the corner and Leave a Nest Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. is honoured to announce the panelist for Session 1 entitled Personalized and Artificial Food from the Perspective of Halal.

With the theme of ‘Bridging Traditional and Modern Healthcare’, Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference in Malaysia 2020 will bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, corporations, government agencies, startup, educators as well as school students to discuss the integration of traditional knowledge on wellness with modern technology in shaping the future of healthcare industry in Malaysia.

Malaysia is blessed with natural resources that have been reported to have positive effects on human health. However, there is limited understanding on how these natural resources can be utilised and modernised as personalised food for improving their overall wellness. In addition, various research has been conducted to discover alternative resources to ensure global food security in the future, but how this revolution could ensure the Halal authenticity for Muslim community. Therefore, in Session 1, panelists will share comprehensive research on traditional knowledge, natural resources, herbs and innovative nutraceuticals. Those research include cultivating, processing until the evaluation of end-products. In addition, this session also touches on the perspective of halal authenticity in terms of the source, processing and the food product itself. This session summarizes the intersection of food technology and wellness.
