On Monday, 9/11/2015 AD, King Khalid University (KKU), represented by Biology department, launched the 2^nd Scientific Forum for the department. The forum was organized by the Cultural and Social Committee in the department of Biology, in collaboration with the Student Activities in Science College. The forum is aimed to enrich the research skills and refine them, in addition to publishing and scientific discussion skills for students in the Department of Biology, through the integration of their research projects along with those of the teaching staff and researchers in the Department.

The meeting started with a lecture presented by Dr. Essam Hassan. The lecture was about scientific applications of the methods of immunological measurement. Then, a lecture on the concept of time biologically was presented by Dr. Kamel Al-Tamimi. Moreover, Dr. Ibrahim Eid, gave a lecture about dynamic growth of water hyacinth: Modeling approach, followed by another lecture presented by Dr. Abu Bakr Al-Tayeb, in which he talked about mechanical molecular for cur cumin in resisting sensitive cancer cells and drugs resistance. There was also a lecture on biotechnology applications in plant pathology: an increase in strbohA gene in potato plant and genetically modified Alarabidobsis improves resistance against Elvirtisaleoma wilt disease.

On their part, Master degree students displayed posters of their own. Then, there was a workshop at the laboratories of Biology Department, with Dr. Mohammed Fawzi and Mr. Jamal Al-Shaboury as presenters. The workshop was about a visit to the botanical herbarium of the department and making a definition and weeding to some wild plants to get a vegetable extract from them.
