Academic Profile : Faculty
Dr. CHEW Sing Yian is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB), the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine and the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. She is also a Fellow of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (FTERM). She is known for her contributions in designing biomimetic scaffolds to understand and control cell fate. Dr. Chew’s most significant contribution is in the field of scaffold-mediated delivery of gene-silencing and biomimicking physical signals for neural tissue regeneration and remyelination. Specifically, her lab engineers bio-functional platforms for long-term delivery of biologics. These scaffolding constructs may be used for understanding and directing neural tissue regeneration after traumatic injuries, stem cell fate and host-implant integration.
