Revolutionizing Learning, Enriching Science

Timely themed for century’s increasing demands on learning and research, SCINNOV8 showcases scientific innovative output by health and life sciences students of Management and Science University (MSU). Behind the greatest innovations is a common passion combining science with applications that matter to human interest, which is why science at Management and Science University (MSU) is applied, multi-disciplinary, and collaborative. Investing in the 21st-century future was the recent semester project SCINNOV8 by MSU’s Faculty of Health and Life Sciences (FHLS).
