Congratulations to Muliawan Gregory Kenneth, a PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Terence Lee in the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology (ABCT), for receiving the Best Paper Award at the PolyU Research Student Conference (PRSC 2025). This prestigious accolade recognizes his paper as the best among all top submissions this year.
Kenneth's research focuses on identifying therapeutic targets to combat treatment resistance in liver cancer, a deadly disease often diagnosed at advanced stages with poor prognosis. His work also enhances our understanding of the failures of current targeted therapies and immunotherapies for this challenging condition. Notably, his research team has developed a novel neutralizing antibody that shows promising results in pre-clinical settings.
The PRSC is the flagship research conference for postgraduate students, providing an invaluable platform for RPg students and members of the College of Undergraduate Researchers and Innovators (CURI) at PolyU to present their research findings. It also fosters networking opportunities among students from various disciplines, contributing to a collaborative and supportive research community at PolyU.
The Department of ABCT congratulates Kenneth and his supervisor on their outstanding achievements and wishes them continued success.
