Commercializing traditional knowledge and biodiversity through science
2010
Miller, M.
Malaysia is one of the most biodiversity-rich countries in the world. The richness of Malaysia's flora makes them unparalleled 'national treasures'. Further research holds the potential to transform them into commercialised high-value medicinal products and dietary supplements to enhance the quality of life. In addition to its rich biodiversity, Malaysia is also home to various ethnic groups, over generations they have acquired intimate knowledge of plants and practiced different forms of traditional medicine for healing and health maintenance. This presentation covers on the up surging trends on natural products and traditional medicines globally and the approach to develop new ingredients from the Malaysia's rich natural resources and heritage as well as promoting community development and sustainability.
