The National University of Singapore and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem are launching a Joint Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree program in biomedical science beginning in August 2013.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) announced today that it will be appointing Professor David S. Rosenblum as the new Dean of its School of Computing. Prof Rosenblum, currently a professor in the Department of Computer Science at the School of Computing and Director of the School’s Felicitous Computing Institute, will take over from Professor Ooi Beng Chin as the School’s sixth Dean with effect from 1 July 2013.
A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore’s (NUS) Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering has developed a robot fish that mimics the movements of a carp. This robot which is essentially an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is ready for applications, as it can be programmed to perform specific functions, for example, for underwater archaeology such as exploring nooks and corners of wreckage -- or sunken city which are difficult for divers or traditional AUVs to access. Other applications include military activities, pipeline leakage detection, and the laying of communication cable.
Historian from National University of Singapore dispels myths and retraces the story of evolution theory co-founders Darwin and Wallace.
A team of NUS researchers from the Departments of Bioengineering and Orthopaedic Surgery has developed a highly realistic three-dimensional (3-D) tumour model. As it replicates the conditions in the body, it is able to track the effectiveness and progress of drug therapy. Their model has the potential to be a more effective method for studying tumours than in-vitro and even in-vivo methods.
Latest research findings by scientists at the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI Singapore) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) could enable early screening of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a major form of liver cancer, for more aggressive treatment to improve survival rate. The researchers have also proposed a way to inactivate SALL4 - a stem cell gene - to kill HCC cells and block tumour formation.
NUS (Suzhou) Research Institute will leverage on NUS' expertise to promote research, education and entrepreneurship in Suzhou and China; Four collaborative agreements inked
Generous gift to NUS Faculty of Science will include funding for life sciences research projects conducted by undergraduate students and scholarships for graduate students
Potential for method to be used within a network of wetland monitoring programmes in Southeast Asia and globally for assessing shoreline security and stability.
Researchers illustrate how changes to farming could dramatically increase future costs of conservation.
A bioengineering research team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) team led by Associate Professor Zhang Yong has developed a novel microfluidic device for efficient, rapid separation and detection of non-spherical bioparticles.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) has been ranked second in the first ever Asia University Rankings published by the Times Higher Education (THE) magazine. The new rankings, which are based on the same performance indicators and methodology as the established THE World University Rankings, list the top institutions across 15 countries or regions in Asia, including Turkey and the Middle East.
A team of researchers led by Associate Professor Maria Kozhevnikov from the Department of Psychology at the National University of Singapore (NUS) Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences showed, for the first time, that it is possible for core body temperature to be controlled by the brain. The scientists found that core body temperature increases can be achieved using certain meditation techniques (g-tummo) which could help in boosting immunity to fight infectious diseases or immunodeficiency.
The first institution in Singapore to be in the Global Top 100 at the 76th position, NUS is also placed 9th in the Asia Pacific according to Nature's 2012 ranking of research institutions and countries in the Asia Pacific region. The rankings are based on the Nature Publishing Index (NPI), a measurement of the output in 2012 of research articles in Nature research journals.
Novel discovery paves the way to improve waste degradation and laser-assisted etching of materials.
Novel discovery brings a close to a 17-year-old scientific debate about the impact of mechanical stretching on the structure of DNA.
In a first-ever comprehensive study of 124 natural product combinations, a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Tsinghua University, led by Professor Chen Yu Zong from the Department of Pharmacy at the NUS Faculty of Science, found that certain combinations of natural products can be as effective as man-made drugs in acting against specific disease processes. However, the chances of finding the effective combination of natural products could be as low as below 3 per cent.
Researchers have identified a useful biomarker to detect early disorders leading to liver cancer and as a potential therapeutic target.
Her Majesty Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, accompanied by Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Orange and Princess Máxima of the Netherlands, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister for Foreign Trade as well as a high-level business delegation, today visited the Singapore-Delft Water Alliance (SDWA) and NUSDeltares and gained insights and updates on the latest water research collaborations between scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and their Dutch partners.
A team of researchers led by Professor Maharaj K. Pandit from the University Scholars Programme at the National University of Singapore (NUS) found that unprecedented dam building in the Indian Himalaya holds serious consequences for biodiversity and could pose a threat to human lives and livelihoods.
Initiative will lead to design and development of effective activities and strategies to further improve English competency of university students.
