FROM coming out with solutions related to spine problems, detecting pre-cancerous cells which may lead to colorectal cancer, to what’s needed for comfort in a pair of shoes – these are just some of the research projects featured in Bioengineering Showcase 2012. (read more) Research work has been published in a prestigious journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, PNA.
Associate Professor Zhang Yong and his PhD student Muthu Kumara Gnanasammandhan have developed a novel upconversion nanoparticle technology and used them for gene therapy and for the first time, they have achieved controlling the expression of genes in deep tissues by using upconversion nanoparticles as light nanotransducers. The work has been published in a prestigious journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, PNAS. The developed remote photoactivation technology will be useful in a wide range of biological and biotechnical applications.(read more) Mr John Ong (seated) with Professor Lim Chwee Teck who leads research on the biochip, a first in the world using cell mechanics principles to detect, isolate and retrieve rare circulating cancer cells in the bloodstream (read more)
