  • The 9th RCMM conference will be held at Bangi Resort Hotel (also known as Bangi Golf Resort) that is located at No.1, Persiaran Bandar, Bandar Baru Bangi, 43650 Selangor, Malaysia. It is situated in the township of Bandar Baru Bangi, which is about 25 kilometers south of Kuala Lumpur city center. The resort is easily accessible via the North-South Expressway and is just a few minutes away from the Bangi exit. For more information about the venue, please visit the UMBI website here.

    To reach Bangi Resort Hotel using public transport, you can follow these steps:

    1. Take a KTM train to the Bangi station. You can find KTM trains at KL Sentral or any other station on the KTM rail network.
    2. From the Bangi station, take a taxi or a Grab car to the Bangi Resort Hotel. The distance from the station to the resort is about 9 kilometers, and the journey should take around 15 minutes, depending on traffic.

    Alternatively, you can take a bus from KL Sentral to Bangi, but this option may require multiple transfers and is likely to take longer than a train followed by a taxi or Grab car. If you prefer to take the bus, you can check the schedules and routes on the RapidKL website or app.

    Overall, taking a KTM train and then a taxi or Grab car is the most convenient and efficient way to get to the Bangi Resort Hotel using public transport.

    We are excited to make your experience at the 9th Regional Conference on Molecular Medicine (RCMM) as smooth and convenient as possible. To ensure hassle-free access to the event venue, we are pleased to announce that we will be providing a complimentary shuttle bus service from the free parking lot to the event location.
