An SMA CSB team has discovered that regulation of liver fibrosis is more complex than scientists think. Their findings demand a change to how liver disease is treated. Get the preview here.

SMA CE researchers surge ahead in the race to build a biomolecule and cell separation cum trapping array. The group has managed to use a new technique that can separate a cluster of particles of intermediate size from a heterogeneous sample, rather than just into two large and small clusters, in what's believed to be a world first.

SMA AMM&NS scientists have come up with a low cost and relatively easier method of building 3D photonic crystal structures by exploiting the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of the photonic crystal layers. Their technique allows for simple defect engineering.

CPE, in conjunction with the NUS Departments of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Pharmacy, organised an outreach event that drew 75 participants, including from companies such as BASF and P&G. The seminar introduced the SMA programme and discussed technologies related to large scale purification for biotherapeutics, membranes for water treatment and biofuel production, as well as biosynthesis of blockbuster drugs, with an eye on possible collaborations.
