  • Dr Yu Fengwei from the Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory studied the fruit fly to understand how asymmetric cell division is controlled. His findings may potentially lead to the treatment of some neurological diseases such as Parkinsons disease.

  • Assoc Prof Ng How Yong from the Division of Environmental Science and Engineering, NUS, focused on developing novel membrane processes and enhancing membrane technologies for water treatment and reuse. He also developed microbial fuel cell technology for alternative clean energy production.'/>"/>
