Our Partnership with National University of Singapore (NUS)
Warwick has recently launched a new joint seed fund with NUS, designed to explore potential research partnerships and strengthen long-term connections with leading experts in their respective fields.
Warwick has a long-standing undergraduate student exchange agreement with NUS.
Warwick researchers co-authored 247 research papers with NUS counterparts between 2018 and 2024.
Our Joint Projects
Current research collaborations span various disciplines including Health Science/Medicine, Computer Science and Theatre and Performance Studies.
Unlocking Ancient Minting Secrets with Digital Tools
By combining historical scholarship with advanced data science, this collaboration aims to transform the study of ancient coinage, offering new insights into production systems, mint organisation, and regional economic structures. It represents the next step in a growing partnership between Warwick and NUS, bridging humanities and technology to unlock the secrets of the ancient world.
How Cells Shape the Developing Brain
Cell extrusion is a process where unwanted or dying cells are pushed out of a tissue to maintain its health and structure. This is essential for preventing inflammation, infection, or cancer. During embryonic development, extrusion also helps tissues and organs form correctly by removing cells that are no longer needed and allowing others to rearrange. If extrusion goes wrong, tissues can fail to develop properly or become vulnerable to disease.
A key player in this process is Erk, a signalling protein that acts like a messenger, helping cells coordinate their behaviour. Erk activity moves in waves across tissues, and these waves have been linked to extrusion events. However, scientists still do not know exactly how Erk controls extrusion during the earliest stages of brain development.
