Plant diseases are not only a nuisance to neighbourhood gardeners, but more importantly, have a direct impact on a country’s agri-food industry. Associate Professor Miao Yansong, a plant scientist from the NTU School of Biological Sciences, recently published a study that shed some light on the field of plant immune response against microbial pathogens.
Discovering the first silencers that loop to regulate its target genes in the human genome, Assistant Professor Fullwood and her team might just be one step closer to finding a method for curing cancer.
Physicists have created a hybrid material in which superconductivity and magnetism interact, which could be used to create a new type of quantum computer.
The Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES, is one of the most widely-used encryption algorithms in the world. An international team, led by researchers from NTU, has found an attack on a reduced-strength variant of AES, in an important milestone for our understanding of this critically important algorithm.
After Typhoon Goni hit the Philippines in 2020, researchers from ASE’s Disaster Analytics for Society Lab worked together to develop a damage prediction model, as well as hosted a mapathon, which has the potential to not only minimise greater loss in future disasters, but also to improve efficiency in relief efforts.
Given their significance in cell-cell communication, Extracellular Vesicles (EV) have great therapeutic potential. In this read, Ph.D. student Tan Chee Fan and Associate Professor Sze Siu Kwan adapted a method to study EV protein levels from a different angle. A protein was also identified as a potential target for the regulation of EV biogenesis.
As COVID-19 spreads across the world, Assistant Professor Pun Chi Seng investigates an efficient social distancing policy (ESDP) with the use of stochastic epidemic modeling and deep learning algorithms, in which this methodology could be used for future unexpected pandemics.

Coastal cities like Singapore are heavily affected by changing sea levels. Two scientists from ASE, Associate Professor Adam Switzer and Professor Benjamin Horton are leading teams to look for solutions to help mitigate the effects.
A multidisciplinary team of researchers, including Associate Professor Federico Lauro (PI) and Assistant Professor Patrick Martin (Co-I) from ASE, have been awarded the NERC-NRF SEAP research grant to study marine microplastic waste in Southeast Asia.
