Can Plantations Provide Supplementary Habitat for Wildlife in the Face of Deforestation? – A Case Study from India
Conversion of forest to agricultural land is one of the biggest threats to wildlife in Asia. ASE PhD student Anushka Rege has investigated the potential of cashew plantations in India as habitat for wild animals, showing that though forests remain irreplaceable, cashew plantations could serve as a supplementary habitat for local animals, if well-managed.
Post-Typhoon Goni – ASE Researchers Develop Damage Prediction Models
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.
Regulation in the Pharmaceuticals and Biotech Industry: Interview with Dr Zheng Yiying
Dr Zheng Yiying has recently launched a new chemistry module in SPMS that provides an overview of regulations in pharmaceutical drugs, biologics, and medical devices. We caught up with Dr Zheng to ask about her background, and her reasons for creating this new course.
Balancing Economic and Public Health in a Pandemic
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.

Approaching New Frontiers in Fungi Research
Working under Assistant Professor Marek Mutwil, a group of twenty-three SBS students from the module BS1009 have built and launched www.fungi.guru, a new informational resource for studying fungi.
Unravelling Uromodulin: On the helical reconstruction of proteins
As part of a team of researchers, Assistant Professor Wu Bin and PhD student Xu Chenrui of the School of Biological Sciences and the Institute of Structural Biology, have made a landmark discovery, mapping the three-dimensional atomic structure of the protein uromodulin for the first time.
Wastewater, COVID-19’s Canary in a Coal Mine
For the last several months, Associate Professor Janelle Thompson, a Principal Investigator at the Asian School of the Environment and the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering, has been leading a team of scientists in conducting a survey of wastewater surveillance approaches to aid in COVID-19 epidemiology.
