New paper in Neurobiology of Aging on our study on the regulatory function of AICD through FOXA2 in neurogenesis. doi:10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2020.07.031

Congratulations to Dr. Tu Haitao for receiving the highly competitive SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medicine Research Grant FY2021!!

Congratulations to @Jolenelwl for being awarded the DUKE-NUS PhD programme scholarship!!! 🎉💪🏻

We are proud to present two PhD graduates; Dr. Jiang Mei and Dr. Vivek D.Ranjan! We wish you both all the best in your future endeavours 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Congrats to @JoanneJangSE on her co-first publication in Biomaterials! We evaluated for the first time, transplanted AIE-NPs labelled hESC-derived neurons in mice for its biocompatibility, retention rate and associated immune response.

Congrats to Vivek on his publication in Biomaterials Science in his discovery on recapitulating the spontaneous enhancement of pathogenic amyloid-beta 42 and pTau levels in differentiated neurons carrying familial AD (FAD) mutations on microfiber scaffold-based 3D culture model.

Our collaborative study with Robin's lab in A*Star is now up in Stem Cell Research and Therapy! We have shown value of in vivo functional imaging for the assessment of cell therapies i.e. determination of early post-transplant cell maturation and differentiation of hESC-mDAs.

Our recent paper on the role of the VPS35 D620N mutation and APP in adult hippocampal neurogenesis is up on Neurobiology of Disease!

Check out our new paper in Molecular Brain on the generation of a novel VPS35 D620N mouse model using Rosa26‐based transgene expression platform to better examine and analyse PD pathogenesis
