NUS biologists have developed the first-ever genomic baseline dataset for three Asian horseshoe crab species and examined the data they generated to propose tailored conservation strategies for each of the three species. #NUSImpact

@NUS_DBS and @NUSMedicine researchers are contributing to a multi-institutional research programme to understand lung disease and treatment in Asia. The programme, led by @NTU_LKCMedicine TARIPH Centre, aims to strategy development to improve lung health.

Researchers from @nus_cde_sg and @iHealthtechNUS have developed an innovative approach of using DNA-tagged gold nanoparticles for more targeted cancer treatment. Their discovery could lead to safer and more effective cancer therapies! #NUSImpact

Sea Building and Sea Connect at @NUSComputing have been officially opened today! These state-of-the-art buildings offer dynamic spaces to drive NUS’ bold ambitions in cutting-edge research, education, and collaboration in areas such as AI and data science.

Scientists from @iHealthtechNUS developed a non-invasive way to enhance chemotherapy effectiveness. Using pulses of magnetic fields, they boosted drug uptake in breast cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues, improving outcomes and reducing side effects

NUS and @ntusg have spun off a new start-up, AQSolotl, which has developed CHRONOS-Q, a quantum controller that enables easy and efficient control of quantum computers. The controller is scalable, cost-efficient, and fast! #NUSResearch

Singapore is 10th in the world and first in Asia, in our readiness to address the challenges and leverage the opportunities of an ageing population, according to a study by NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health and @columbiamsph #NUSImpact #NUSResearch

NUS scientists developed an innovative aerogel that quickly absorbs air moisture and releases freshwater without an external energy source! Effective even in desert climates, this novel approach offers a promising solution to the global freshwater crisis.

We are partnering @nparksbuzz to plant 100,000 corals in our waters! NUS scientists at the St John’s Island National Marine Laboratory, armed with rich expertise in coral research and conservation, will be cultivating these corals to restore our reefs.

Scientists from @nus_cde_sg have developed flexible SHINE fibres with self-healing, light-emitting and magnetic properties, which can be powered wirelessly. Potential uses for the fibres include soft robotics, interactive displays and smart fabrics.

We launched the PSA-NUS Supply Chain Living Lab together with @globalpsa! The lab will strengthen collaboration between industry and academia to address critical supply chain challenges. #NUSResearch #NUSImpact

The Centre for Energy Research & Technology at @nus_cde_sg and Equinix will be setting up a Co-Innovation Facility in Singapore. The facility will test and develop innovative solutions to enable data centres to operate more efficiently and sustainably.

Learn about how NUS researchers are building on Charles Darwin’s legacy! Through evolution studies on various organisms, from hornbills to dung beetles to fungi, their work aims to address today’s environmental and conservation challenges.

Exciting news from COP29! @NUSMedicine has launched the world's first Master's in Sustainable Healthcare and an Executive Fellowship to tackle climate challenges in healthcare. Applications for the inaugural Aug 2025 batch are now open! #NUSSustainabilty

This year’s @ClarivateAG Highly Cited Researchers 2024 list commends more than 40 NUS researchers for their significant and broad influence in their respective fields of research. #NUSImpact #NUSExcellence #HighlyCited2024
