Convocation season is here again! In this series, Science@NTU gets to know the 2023 CoS valedictorians. They give a quick overview of their time in CoS, and also offer a few words of advice on transitioning into the next phase of life. First up, we have Fiona Fan from the School of Biological Sciences.
We congratulate Prof Tam for this award recognizing his pioneering research in the areas of chemoenzymatic peptide ligation, peptide dendrimers as vaccines and therapeutics and plant-derived bioactive peptides, as well as for outstanding international leadership and mentorship in the peptide science community.
A team of scientists from the NTU School of Biological Sciences have found that ponatinib, a drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia, has shown exceptional promise in stopping the growth of ALT-dependent cancerous cells.
A team of scientists from the NTU School of Biological Sciences have carried out research into how plants react to stressful conditions and devised a computational method that allows scientists to predict how plants will respond to complex environmental stresses. Their paper discussing their research and new computational method was recently accepted into the prestigious scientific journal, Nature Communications.
