The College of Science welcomed back its generations of alumni and their families during the NTU Alumni Homecoming 2022 on 15 October 2022. Faculty and volunteers organised a series of classroom demonstrations and activities for alumni and their families to learn about the latest discoveries by the College of Science and the impact that science has on their everyday lives.
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), led by Associate Professor Gao Yonggui and Assistant Professor Ma Wei, have successfully bioengineered and improved a plant protein that is responsible for oil accumulation in plant seeds and edible nuts. Using their patent-pending method, plants which have the modified protein can accumulate up to 15 – 18% more oil in their seeds.
After overseas travel was severely restricted during the COVID-19 pandemic, Singaporeans were once again able to enjoy travelling, thanks to a greater easing of travel restrictions over the last several months. No longer limited to solely virtual outreach events for international students, NTU College of Science recently organised a series of physical and virtual overseas outreach events in September, targeting students from Malaysia and Indonesia.
Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have found that a stress response in cells, when ‘switched on’ at a post-reproductive age, could be the key to slow down ageing and promote longevity.
To the naked eye, the surface of our skin and scalp generally appears clean and free of any other living organism. However, under the magnified scrutiny of a microscope, the surface of our skin is teeming with microscopic life. Our skin and scalp provide a rich...
