The topic presented was “Development of a Gel-Forming Spray Formulation of Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn (HSL) Extract as a Potential Alternative in the Management of Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) in Malaysia.” This topic highlighted the need for alternative approaches to DFU management in Malaysia, showcasing the benefits of HSL extract formulation, especially given the limitations of non-surgical interventions that restrict patients with DFU from engaging in their daily activities. The presentation stood out among others, reflecting the university’s commitment to academic excellence and innovation in finding solutions.

Overall, this international online conference provided a valuable platform for young researchers to engage with the academic community on a global scale.
