Two BeANs Lab members clench top prized at at Biomedical Engineering Society 12th Scientific Meeting (BES12SM)

Three NTU SCBE Ph.D. students won top prizes at Biomedical Engineering Society 12th Scientific Meeting (BES12SM)

Held every year in May, the Biomedical Engineering Society Scientific Meeting is on its 12th sequence. It is a friendly platform for students to showcase their research projects as well as designs of biomedical engineering solutions for the clinics and community. This year, three NTU SCBE Ph.D. students, Madhura Satish Bhave, Sagar Regmi, and Samyukta Ravishankar, won gold, silver, and bronze, respectively, for podium presentations. Their works, in order, are on Bacterial Cancer Therapy: Anti-tumor and Immunogenic Properties, Fluidic Shear Stress Increases he Anti-cancer Effects of ROS-generating Drugs in Circulating Tumor Cells, and Engineered Ferritin Nanocage as a Cholesterol Sequestering Agent. The students are advised by Teoh Swee Hin and Sierin Lim.

Congratulations to Madhura, Sagar, and Samyukta!

Today is the 150th anniversary of 👩‍🔬Marie Curie’s birthday. The first female Nobel Prize winner, she was also the first Nobel Laureate to be recognised in two categories - physics and chemistry - for her groundbreaking work that led to the discovery of radioactivity ☢️. To foster the spirit of scientific discovery, held the WO+MEN fEST (Women and Men for Engineering, Science, and Technology) today, featuring leading women scientists like Prof Daniela Rhodes, Assoc Prof Christiane Ruedl and Prof Miao Chun Yan, who shared their inspiring stories and research breakthroughs.

Our paper in collaboration with the Rome lab at UCLA is online!
