  4. A* Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology

    Established in 2003, the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) is spearheaded by its Executive Director, Professor Jackie Yi-Ru Ying, who was a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1992 - 2005). In 2008, Professor Ying was recognized as one of “One Hundred Engineers of the Modern Era” by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers for her groundbreaking work on nanostructured systems, nanoporous materials and host matrices for quantum dots and wires. Under her direction, IBN conducts research at the cutting-edge of bioengineering and nanotechnology. Its programs are geared towards linking multiple disciplines across engineering, science and medicine to produce research breakthroughs that will improve healthcare and our quality of life.
    IBN’s research activities are focused in the following areas:
    • Drug and Gene Delivery, where the controlled release of therapeutics involve the use of functionalized polymers, hydrogels and biologics for targeting diseased cells and organs, and for responding to specific biological stimuli.
    • Cell and Tissue Engineering, where biomimicking materials, stem cell technology, microfluidic systems and bioimaging tools are combined to develop novel approaches to regenerative medicine and artificial organs.
    • Bio devices and Diagnostics, which involve nanotechnology and microfabricated platforms for highthroughput biomarker and drug screening, automated biologics synthesis, and rapid disease diagnosis.
    • Pharmaceuticals Synthesis and Green Chemistry, which encompasses the efficient catalytic synthesis of chiral pharmaceuticals, and new nanocomposite materials for sustainable technology and alternative energy generation.
  5. Duke NUS Medical Graduate School
    A joint collaboration between two educational powerhouses, Duke University in the United States and the National University of Singapore, Duke-NUS is committed to developing future leaders in medicine. Our 4-year graduate medical program is based on an innovative and highly rigorous curriculum, with the distinctive aim of developing researchers and practitioners who are exceptionally skilled in medical research and patient care.
    Because it is impossible to teach medical students everything they'll ever need to know throughout their medical careers, our curriculum is a springboard, not an endpoint. We teach our students the fundamentals of medicine, research, and patient care, and how to become lifelong learners. It's this education that will make Duke-NUS graduates leaders, creative thinkers who will improve the practice of medicine.
    As you prepare for your career in medicine, it's important to remember that it is no longer enough to keep on top of the latest medical advances. Those at the forefront of medicine are pioneers who can translate their passion for discovery into real solutions for the real world.
    One of the primary goals of Duke-NUS is to help you make the most of your medical school education, and to develop the leaders who will play a fundamental role in translating medical research into future breakthroughs in patient care. If you can see yourself as one of those leaders, we welcome you to talk to our representatives at our booth.
