School of Applied Science Student Projects

Studying Mutated Tumor Suppressor Gene on Cancer Progression

Duke-NUS is a medical research institution that houses five main research programmes. Terina Tay Yan Wen from the Diploma in Medical Biotechnology had the opportunity to complete her Student Internship Project (SIP) along with her Major Project (MP) in the primary faculty of Cancer and Stem Cell Biology (CSCB) under the supervision of Professor Koji Itahana. The research project focused on the p53 protein that is a well-known tumor suppressor protein.

Whilst at the Itahana laboratory, she not only managed to practice laboratory techniques like the Western Blot and Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR), she was also exposed to a wide range of other techniques such as immunofluorescence staining, co-immunoprecipitation, and transwell assays. This internship opportunity helped her hone her laboratory skill sets, as well as enhanced her presentation skills.

Developing Cost-effective Pelleted Feed to Replace the Use of Expired Confectionery Products at West Johor Strait Farms

During her Student Internship Programme (SIP) at the Marine Aquaculture Centre (MAC), Goh Si Ying, a final year student from the Diploma in Veterinary Technology performed feeding as part of the general fish husbandry of Tilapias, along with her Major Project to develop cost-effective pelleted feeds to replace the use of expired confectionery products at West Johor Strait Farms. General husbandry skills and concepts are taught in Temasek Polytechnic and these include proper feeding techniques and management, water parameters testing, and behaviour monitoring that are readily applied in the workforce.

Diagnostic Use of Intraocular Pressure Measurement in Sedated Birds

Final year student, Eugene Ong Jia Jun from the Diploma in Veterinary Technology worked on a research project focused on avian ophthalmology during his Student Internship Programme (SIP) at Jurong Bird Park. He also investigated on the diagnostic use of intraocular pressure measurement in sedated birds as part of his Major Project. Eugene also practised essential clinical skills and gained new knowledge on providing care for avian patients. This SIP along with MP opportunities certainly boosted his passion for veterinary medicine.

Understanding the Mechanism of Hepatocellular Carcinoma to Develop Better Treatments

Liver cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death globally and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 90% of all primary liver cancers in humans. Currently, drugs approved for the treatment of HCC have limited effectiveness and poor survival benefits in patients. Hence there is a need to develop alternative therapies with better clinical outcomes. However, to do so, it is important to first understand the disease mechanism in order to develop better treatment options for HCC.

Justin Tang Jit Hin, a Diploma in Pharmaceutical Science graduate from the class of 2020, completed his 26-week Student Internship Programme (SIP) at The N.1 Institute for Health (N.1), National University of Singapore. Being in this final year, he also worked on his Major Project there at N.1, studying the role of STAT3, a protein that is involved in many types of cancers such as in HCC. During his internship, Justin wrote a review paper on “JAK/STAT Signaling in Hepatocellular Carcinoma” that was subsequently published in the reputed scientific journal, Hepatic Oncology in March 2020.

Collaboration with FAO to develop educational resource kits for street food vendors in Asia

Samples of developed e-recipe cards and videos on food safety practices for street food vendors in Asia

Students involved in recipe development

These final year students from the Diploma in Food, Nutrition and Culinary Science, Felicia Ng, Teh Xin Yee and Janice Ow worked on a project collaboration between the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and ASC’s Centre for Applied Nutrition Services (CANS). Conducted as part of their Major Project, the students developed an educational resource kit to promote healthy diets and food safety practices for street food vendors in Asia. Apart from including COVID-19 related measures, the two-part kit comprised of a set of 13 e-recipe cards of popular street foods from 6 countries from the South and Southeast Asian countries namely India, Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.

The purpose of this resources kit was to inspire these countries’ street food vendors to improve the nutritional quality of their dishes, and induce a behavioural change in both the vendors and consumers. The healthier alternatives of the recipes were developed either through the replacement, substitution, reduction or addition of certain ingredients, and use of healthier cooking methods. Selected recipes were also accompanied with cooking demonstration videos that featured a chef and a nutritionist. The final part of kit was an e-booklet with YouTube videos. The e-booklet provided a practical guide on the latest science-based recommendations and colourful illustrations for the street food vendors to refresh and update their knowledge and skills in safe food preparation and personal hygiene practices. The animated videos also serve to reinforce their learning from the e-booklet.

The formulation also included alternative sweeteners such as sugar alcohols and stevia to achieve a ‘Low in Sugar’ claim. It also achieved other claims such as being ‘Low in Fat’ and ‘High in Fiber’. A first of such in our local market!

Turn Food Waste to Gold

Recycling food waste into useful products

According to Singapore’s National Environment Agency (NEA), the amount of food waste generated in Singapore has increased by about 20 per cent over the past 10 years and is expected to increase with our growing population and economic activity. This is not only happening locally but regionally too.

The current approach of disposing food waste is via incineration which is both wasteful and not sustainable. Various types of food waste have their unique properties and hence can be transformed to make a variety of useful products.

Making compost from food waste

Sustainable building materials from food waste

Extraction of healthy compounds from fruit peels

Together with our research team from the Centre for Urban Sustainability (CUS), our students from the Diploma in Chemical Engineering did just that! Through their involvement in various projects and adopting chemical and biological approaches, they learnt to turn post-consumption food waste from our canteens to compost. They also used food by-products as part of making sustainable building materials, as well as used utilized fruit peels to develop some health products too!

Completed Major Project Titles

In Year 3, students undertake the module, Major Project (MP) to analyse current issues and provide innovative solutions to the industry. Students are also given the opportunity to be cross-trained by taking on projects offered by other diplomas and their corresponding centres of excellence/ innovation.

Have a glance at the hundreds of project titles that our students complete each academic year.
