The objective of this activity was to enhance students\u2019 knowledge and understanding of biobank systems, particularly in the areas of biological resource collection, preservation, and management, which play a crucial role in supporting research and development in plant science, biology, and biotechnology.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0em; margin-left: 0em; text-indent: 3em; line-height: 2.0em; letter-spacing: 1px; font-family: 'K2D', sans-serif; font-size: 1.0em; text-align: justify;\">During the visit, students attended a special lecture delivered by experts from the National Biobank Thailand and explored the operational processes of the biobank, including sample acquisition, storage systems, quality control, and the utilization of biological resources for scientific research and sustainable innovation.\n\nThis educational activity provided valuable hands-on experience and broadened students\u2019 perspectives in plant science and related fields. It also served as an important opportunity to inspire students and strengthen their academic foundation for future research and professional development, contributing to the advancement of scientific personnel in Thailand.<br \/><br \/>Photos credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PlantScienceMUSC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PlantScienceMUSC<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<figure
