TO increase public knowledge on cancer and encourage students to have an interest in biology, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), through its Cancer and Infectious Diseases (CAID) research group, has been holding awareness campaigns in schools for the past four years.

At SMK Damai Jaya in Skudai, Johor, CAID raised awareness on the link between skin cancer and sun exposure.
