Monash University has appointed a number of individuals to act as Research Integrity Advisors. These academics and professional staff may be approached when researchers have concerns about appropriate conduct of research and may be considering making allegations of a breach of 'the Code'. Their role is not to investigate or assess any allegations but to use their research experience, knowledge of Monash policy and familiarity with the accepted practices in research to assist researchers to understand what research misconduct entails and what their options are to address any concerns. Their role is not to make judgements about whether specific concerns meet criteria for research misconduct. For our School, the Research Integrity Advisor is Professor Chow Sek Chuen.

The School of Science also works closely with the Malaysian Biotechnology Information Centre (MABIC) to identify and establish invaluable research and academic links with the biotechnology industry in Malaysia and around the region.
