A team of researchers from NUS iHealthtech, led by Assoc Prof Shao Huilin and Assoc Prof Brian Lim, has developed a first-of-its-kind technology to map out diverse protein interactions in cells using DNA barcodes. The technology, dubbed TETRIS, can explicitly identify and quantify multiple interacting partners in large protein assemblies, which was not possible previously.
The study focused on a specific type of immune cells called "macrophages" found in the cancer's environment, and researchers discovered that variations in these cells are linked to how well patients might recover and survive.
A research team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has unearthed new findings which may help explain the connection between cancer risk and poor diet, as well as common diseases like diabetes, which arise from poor diet. The insights gained from this study hold promise for advancing cancer prevention strategies aimed at promoting healthy ageing.
The FinTech Lab at NUS School of Computing has received a generous grant of US$1 million from global enterprise blockchain and crypto solutions provider Ripple’s University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI). The new funding will support FinTech Lab’s operations for the next two years and extend Ripple and NUS’ existing collaboration in promoting innovation and thought leadership in fintech.
A research team from the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore at the National University of Singapore has successfully harnessed artificial intelligence and deep-learning techniques to model atomic-level RNA 3D structures from primary RNA sequences. Called DRfold, this novel AI-based method improves the accuracy of RNA models by more than 70 percent, compared to traditional approaches.
