About Us
We are a research team focussing on the development of new, potent and safe (macro)molecular compounds and materials for combating infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Driven by the rising global health challenges, our goal is to create technologies and knowledge pool that will lead to better health outcomes for the society.
Industry
We recognize that industry partnerships are key toward translating research from lab to real world applications. There are several government funded grant schemes that enable for such collaboration. Please contact us for more details.
We also provide contracted consulting services for new product development and process optimization on polymer-related applications.
