External funding support from the Tote Board was successfully obtained for the following Material Science projects:

1. Development of Characterization Platform of Novel Micro/Nano Bio-hybrid Materials (Principal Investigator (PI) Ms. Vicky Wu)
   
   
2. Development and Application of an Integrated Piezoelectric Tactile Sensor for Minimally Invasive Surgery (PI Dr Valavan)
   
   
3. Application of Self Healing Materials (PI Dr Willy Tan)
   
   
4. In Vitro Study: To Investigate the Histological and Mechanical Properties of a New Augmentation of Cancellous Bone-biological Bone Cement (PI Dr Kam Boon Horng)
   
   
5. Synthesis of Novel Two-Photon Absorbing Materials Transported on Nanoparticle Platform and their Cellular Applications (PI Dr Teo Tang Lin)
   
   
6. Bio Inspired Nanotechnology - Self cleaning coating (PI Dr Willy Tan)

The NM TDC will also immediately support a pre-existing pool of 20 final year projects undertaken by 92 students. The key collaborators supporting our projects are NUS, CGH, NCC, RSA, MyoHealth, and Monash University.
