SMART researchers develop fast advanced method to detect microbial contamination in cell cultures
Researchers from the Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized-Medicine (CAMP), an Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG) of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), ASTAR Skin Research Labs (ASRL), and the National […]
Microparticle technology brings new Hope for vitamin A deficiency
MIT researchers have developed a new method to fortify foods with vitamin A, a breakthrough that could help combat deficiency-related blindness and health issues affecting millions worldwide. The innovation involves encapsulating vitamin A in a polymer, protecting it from degradation […]
Needle-free capsule could enhance oral drug delivery
MIT and Novo Nordisk researchers have developed an ingestible capsule that can deliver drugs directly into the walls of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, offering a needle-free alternative to injections. Inspired by squids’ jet propulsion, the capsule uses compressed gas or […]
NUS researchers develop DNA-tagged gold nanoparticles for targeted cancer therapy
A team from the National University of Singapore (NUS), led by Assistant Professor Andy Tay, has introduced a DNA-tagging method to improve the precision of gold nanoparticle-based cancer treatments. Their approach, detailed in Advanced Functional Materials, published on November 24, […]
Study cracks new insights into ovarian cancer’s immune evasion
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have identified a novel mechanism by which ovarian tumors hinder the immune system’s T cells, blocking their energy supply and limiting their effectiveness against cancer. This discovery, published in Nature, highlights a potential new immunotherapy […]
Malaysian researchers innovate vaccine and medicine manufacturing
A team of academic researchers in Malaysia has developed a new method for purifying recombinant virus-like particles (VLPs) produced in bacterial cells, potentially simplifying and reducing the cost of producing essential vaccines and medicines. The research team includes Dr. Lee […]
Singapore Researchers Develops New Method for Predicting MSCs’ Cartilage Repair Efficacy
Researchers from Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized-medicine (Camp) Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG) at Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (Smart), MIT’s research enterprise in Singapore, and collaborators from the National University of Singapore Tissue Engineering Programme (Nustep) have discovered a […]
Study Unlocks Key Findings on Asian Carriers of Breast Cancer
Malaysian researchers at Cancer Research Malaysia (CRMY) and the University of Nottingham Malaysia (UNM) have published the largest study to shed light on cancer risk in Asian BRCA carriers. This study provides critical information that can assist in decisions regarding […]
Discovery of a unique bacterial communication system may help to tackle antibiotic resistance – Study
Researchers from the Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG) at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MIT’s research enterprise in Singapore, in collaboration with the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore (NTU Singapore), the Singapore Centre for Environmental […]
Researchers develop breakthrough at-home Covid-19 test
A brand-new COVID-19 at-home test has been claimed to be more sensitive than the most recent cutting-edge antigen tests. The technology developed for COVID-19 by researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) can also be used to create tests […]
