Environmental & Water Technology

Students from Environmental & Water Technology taught Geylang Serai residents how to make miniature rain gardens to remove pollutants, in conjunction with Singapore World Water Day.

Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering

Students from Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering took part in the “Clear Shores, Clean Water” international coastal clean-up event, organised by the Singapore Chemical Industry Council in support of World Environmental Day. By keeping our shores and water free from plastics and other wastes, this event highlights the needs to use and dispose of plastics responsibly.

Biomedical Science

Students from Biomedical Science went to Genome Institute of Singapore (A^*STAR) for their internship, where their primary role was to extract high-quality RNA for use in various virus projects. They worked alongside professionals to gain relevant expertise in the area of RNA, including laboratory techniques such as RNA extraction, primer testing, bacterial transformation and tissue culture.

Biomedical Science

During their overseas internship to the UK, Biomedical Science students were hosted by Sheffield University in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. Their roles were to characterize DNA segregation proteins and reconstitute bacterial chromosome dynamics. They were exposed to research techniques ranging from molecular biology, biochemistry and fluorescence microscopy.

Biomedical Science

During their overseas internship to China, students from Biomedical Science were hosted by Guangxi Medical University in the School of Public Health. Their primary roles were to understand the mechanism behind malignant tumours and congenital malformations clinically and at a molecular level. They were exposed to research techniques ranging from environmental health risk assessment, epidemiological study and toxicological study.
