Human migration in SE Asia is driven by sea-level rise, impacting genetic ancestry

By combining the population history inferred from the genome data and the history of geography, SCELSE, ASE & EOS are able to show the cause of the human migration and ethnic diversity of the Southeast Asia. This provides insights into how human genetic profile were impacted by climate change during a time of similar global warming,” said Prof Kim Hie Lim, lead author of the study.

Congrats SCELSE recipients of the National Award (Covid-19)

A great pleasure to kick-start 2023 with a congratulatory message to our SCELSE experts who have contributed to Singapore’s fight against Covid-19 and awarded the prestigious National Award (Covid-19).

Congratulations Prof Staffan Kjelleberg on receiving the prestigious Nanyang Research Award 2022

The Nanyang Research Award is presented in recognition of his outstanding contributions in extending the frontiers of knowledge in biofilms and microbiomes, through the establishment and success of SCELSE over the past decade.

Singapore scientists discover ‘future-proof’ method using bacteria to remove phosphorus from wastewater

SCELSE scientists have developed a technique to remove phosphorus from wastewater at higher temperatures than is possible using existing techniques, by using bacteria to store the chemical.
