18-year-old Singaporean student introduces the topic of stem cell research

The youngest Singaporean students will travel next week and will take a break during July, to relax and admire. But for Nicholas Tan Xue-Wei - 18 years old, he was the one who set foot in the United States to attend, and introduced a research topic at the 2007 World Conference on Computer Science, Construction. Computer and Applied Computing (hereinafter WORLDCOMP'07), from 25 to 28 June, held in Las Vegas.

Before returning home to Singapore, Nicholas will continue to represent the Institute of Biological Information, one of 14 research institutes of the Singapore Center for Science, Technology and Research -A * STAR- (Agency for Science, Technology and Research), introduced his research topic at the 2007 World Conference on Construction (WCE 2007) from July 2 to 4 in London.

At WCE 2007, Nicholas will speak his introduction, which will be nominated for the Best Topic Award competition.

At designated times throughout the program of each conference, Nicholas will speak his paper entitled, 'Towards a Serum Free Neutralization Method: Muscle Development. emotional receptors and outstanding methods to regulate the efficacy of human mesenchymal stem cells. '

He will describe the results of a preliminary film show about the program's molecular growth and human factors, which allow a type of stem cell to separate from Bone marrow will be nourished in the laboratory under safe conditions for clinical trials. When nourished in safer conditions, these cells (Mesenchymal Stem Cells) will bring many therapies that are hidden somewhere.

Nicholas will answer questions from conference participants attending his presentation, and read the introductory introductory data.

Dr. Vivek Tanavde, a research scientist at BII, and his Advisor, said: 'Nominated for Best Award at the 2007 World Conference on Construction, in the contest. of students of PhDs and researchers, is a rare and commendable achievement for an 18-year-old character and a good certificate that belongs to the research that Nicholas has done. at BII. '

Nicholas arrived in BII last October during a one-month research secondment, his selection result being considered one of 100 people who received the A * STAR Science Student Award.

Despite the exciting training schedule with the Singapore national swimming team and the rigorous research course at Raffles College, he has won an outstanding award in using computer software to analyze data from rooms. Biologists' experiments to keep up with the predictions of biological events. The predictions made in this study will help the development of the Serum Transplant Neutralization method, which is a better and safer choice than current methods. .

Commenting on the success of Nicholas, research scientist BII - Dr. Tanavde said: ' Nicholas is a very active student, he worked with me for a month. Unlike other students, after completing the project, Nicholas worked hard to examine his findings and convey these results in two international conferences. I wish Nicholas best wishes in the explosion of your science. '
