Institute of Science (IOS) is a unique multidisciplinary research institute devoted in conducting and supporting researches in fundamental sciences as well as encouraging researches in applied sciences and engineering. UiTM has recognised the institute as one of the leading centres of excellence in helping the university to excel in research and development particularly in Science and Technology. IOS is the home to nearly 100 graduate students, 20 research fellows and more than 20 associate members from various faculties within and outside the university. For the past 14 years, our researches have grown in scale and breadth: from nano-scale materials to supramolecular complexes and polymeric materials. We create and synthesize new molecules for the discovery of new or refined drugs as well as develop smart ionic materials and devices. Our research area ranges from exploring reaction mechanism in chemical reactions up to discovering activities of the Sun and impact of environmental nuclear radiation. The diversity of expertise among members in the institute is complemented by a common culture of research excellence and appreciation for interdisciplinary collaboration. In addition to having well-equipped research laboratories and experienced technical staff, strengthening collaborative efforts and networking between our researchers and scientists local and abroad, will undoubtedly make IOS the center of knowledge creation, innovation and discoveries in the new future.
