SZE Siu-Kwan Newman received multidisciplinary research trainings in chemical physics, protein chemistry, protein separation and characterization, and proteomics from University of Hong Kong, University of Toronto, University of Waterloo, and Cornell University under prominent research mentors (Nobel Laureate Professor John Polanyi - Chemical Physics, Professor Janus Pawlizyn - Protein Science, and Professor Fred McLafferty - Mass Spectrometry). After the intensive trainings, he engaged in the R&D of emerging proteomics technology in the Genome Institute of Singapore. After he joined NTU in June 2006, he has embarked on the establishment of a state-of-the-art proteomics facility in School of Biological Sciences and the application of advanced proteomic technologies to decipher human diseases through a rational search for novel disease targets and medicines.

Our research is devoted to develop and apply advanced proteomic technologies to decipher human diseases through a rational search for novel disease targets and medicines. As proteomics is still in the infancy stage, technology development is the key to advance the field to address more sophisticated biomedical questions. During the past few years, we have successfully developed a few novel proteomic techniques and applied to study proteins that are important to transcriptional and translational regulatory networks, DNA repair, and apoptotic pathway. More importantly, we have established a biological and biomarker discovery pipeline to study clinically important proteome systems relevant to host-pathogen response, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.
