RP developed an algorithm that can be incorporated into wireless stress monitoring systems to reduce the risk of heart attacks and cardiovascular diseases. This technology was commercialised to KaHa Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based technology company and incorporated into their new product line.
RP actively collaborates with our industry partners to apply for competitive R&D grants. We have recently received project funding from MOE Translational R&D and Innovation Fund (MOE-TIF) and Singapore Food Story (SFS) R&D Grant.
Smart Cooling Surface Solution The project aims to formulate and produce stabilised hybrid nanofiller dispersions to be used in the development of an anti-heat coating for the passive cooling of automotive vehicles. This will serve as a platform technology for other applications such as cooling of commercial buildings, data centres, solar panels and greenhouses, as well as electric vehicles and trains. Key collaborators are Evonik (South East Asia) Pte Ltd and Artdeshine Pte Ltd. Cost Effective Durable Antimicrobial Film with Multiple Antimicrobial Surface Strategies The project aims to develop a flexible antimicrobial film with enhanced antimicrobial performance, improved durability and self-cleaning capability. Effective use of the antimicrobial film will help to mitigate surface transmission and potentially air-borne transmission. Key collaborators are Three Summit Ventures Pte Ltd and Tobe Packaging Industries Pte Ltd.
RP, together with James Cook University, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and A*STAR, has secured a total of four projects from the Singapore Food Story (SFS) research & development grant. This grant was initiated to support the national agenda of strengthening Singapore's food security and achieving our "30 by 30" goal, while reaping economic benefits. Through this initiative, there is a concerted push towards the development and use of innovative, climate-resilient, and sustainable technologies for agriculture and aquaculture, as well as new biotech-based foods and ingredients. For example in our project “Alternative culture media components for fish-derived fat cells" with A*STAR (Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology) and NTU, we are developing alternative culture media components for cell-based meat. Cell-based meat is future solution for environment-friendly and pathogen-controllable food source. This project aims to develop alternative media components for the differentiation of fish adipocytes.
