The College of Science (CoS) held its second Innovation Day on 29 October where researchers showcased their groundbreaking research. Industry experts were also invited to share their valuable insights on how scientists can commercialise their innovations to...
Neurological disorders are increasingly common in older adults, often due to impaired nerve cell function. Researchers from the School of Biological Sciences (SBS) have uncovered new insights into ion channels, providing a deeper understanding of neurological...
Cells often create tiny liquid droplets—called coacervates—to gather and sort molecules without membranes. These structures help organise biochemical reactions in living cells, but understanding how they form and function has remained a challenge. Researchers from the...
Researchers from the School of Biological Sciences (SBS) have made a breakthrough in understanding why some multiple myeloma patients stop responding to treatment. Their study, published in Nature Communications (1 September 2025), identifies a novel long...
Lighting Up Ageing Cells: NTU Researchers Develop a Novel Biosensor to Study Actin Dynamics How do our cells adapt to stress and age over time? A research team from the School of Biological Sciences (SBS) has developed a new biosensor that makes it possible to...
Inspired by Nature: Enhancing p53 to Prevent Cancer Before It Starts Cancer incidence is rising globally, with one in four individuals expected to develop the disease during their lifetime. This sobering statistic has driven decades of research into the...
In the ongoing battle against plant pathogens, the rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe oryzae) stands out as a formidable foe, threatening food security worldwide. Now, scientists from Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) School of Biological Sciences (SBS) have...
On 28 March, postgraduate students, alumni, and industry professionals gathered for an engaging afternoon at the inaugural Postgraduate Alumni Networking & Industry Engagement event. The event provided a valuable platform for students to connect with alumni...
In an era where global food security is a pressing concern, our researchers from Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) School of Biological Sciences (SBS) are making groundbreaking discoveries in plant immunity. Plant diseases caused by pathogens pose a significant...
How did life begin on Earth? What were those conditions like? These are just some questions that scientists studying the origins of life on early Earth have been grappling with for many years. It turns out, that answer lies in understanding Earth’s early oceans. A...
