SMART Researchers Develop Rapid Contamination-Detection Method for Safer T-Cell Therapy
Traditional sterility tests for bacteria and fungi in T-cell cultures take up to 14 days, whereas a new method developed by researchers at SMART in Singapore can detect contaminants within 24 hours. Using advanced nanopore sequencing and machine learning, this […]
SMART’s new Microfluidic Technology revolutionizes stem cell extraction
Researchers at Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) have unveiled a groundbreaking microfluidic technique that promises a paradigm shift in stem cell extraction from bone marrow aspirate (BMA). The traditional methods, plagued by complexity and inefficiency, have been revolutionized […]
Experimental smart hearing aid tracks user’s brain waves
Scientists at Belgium’s KU Leuven University have designed a cochlear implant that successfully reads a user’s brain waves to allow deaf people to hear again. Measuring these brain waves – instead of detecting noises via external microphones – is more […]
Novel assay by SMART more accurately profiles hyper-aggressive infection
A new label-free immune profiling assay has been developed by researchers from the Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized Medicine (CAMP), an interdisciplinary research group within the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), to better profile aggressive, rapidly changing host […]
Smart, self-healing hydrogels open far-reaching possibilities in medicine, engineering
UNIVERSITY of California, San Diego bioengineers have developed a self-healing hydrogel that binds in seconds, as easily as Velcro, and forms a bond strong enough to withstand repeated stretching. The material has numerous potential applications, including medical sutures, targeted drug […]
