Research Publications

Since its establishment in 2013, PBI has been active in delivering research papers and oral presentations to the scientific and medical community. PBI has been invited to deliver diverse presentations and act as session chair at conferences and meetings; and has been successful in securing a significant number of awards. Additionally, PBI has been recognised for our high scoring and accepted abstracts, a significant achievement for an emerging research institute.
