In this series, Science@NTU gets to know the 2025 CoS valedictorians. They give a quick overview of their time in CoS, and also offer a few words of advice on transitioning into a new phase of life. Next up, we have Khoh Yek How from the School of Biological Sciences....
From 10 to 20 July 2025, the School of Biological Sciences (SBS) hosted its first integrated Summer School, welcoming over 150 undergraduate students from eight leading universities across China, Korea, and Taiwan. The 10-day programme offered an immersive experience...
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...
On 25 June 2025, clusters of school educators gathered in quiet anticipation for a day of discovery and exchange. The Learning Journey for Educators to NTU College of Science (CoS), now in its 4th edition, felt like a time of reunion and rediscovery. Hosted by NTU’s...
On June 25 and 26, a group of students from Yuan Ching Secondary School (YCSS) had the chance to explore life as a young scientist when they took part in the NTU Campus Science Trail. This two-day immersive experience, organised by student volunteers from the...
