NTU Singapore has launched the NBS Global Leaders program – the University’s sixth signature program – to give students a ‘supercharged’ business education that lays the foundation for impactful global careers, and nurture them into confident leaders who can thrive in today’s complex business landscape. 

Offered by the Nanyang Business School (NBS) at NTU, the program is open to business and/or accountancy students in the new academic year that begins in August 2025.

A key highlight of the program is a semester-long exchange at the University of California, Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, one of the world’s best business schools where students can enhance their cultural intelligence, forge international connections, and develop a global mindset. 

In their final year, students will work in teams to implement a meaningful initiative that tackles a pressing need for a chosen community with $10,000 in funding, such as starting a social enterprise or developing a new product that addresses a community need.

Other features of the programme include local and overseas internships, a structured six-month mentorship programme from top executives, and curated workshops to help students sharpen their business acumen and strengthen their soft skills. 

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a new platform using polymeric nanoparticles to deliver drug pairs to specific cancer types, including skin cancer and breast cancer. The researchers explain that having both drugs arrive at the tumor site together significantly amplifies their therapeutic effects and safety profiles.

Published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers have created realistic, skin-like replicas made of Ecoflex, a type of silicone rubber that can potentially serve as a platform to evaluate risks of bacterial infections from intravenous catheters and test wearable sensors, among other biomedical applications. The study found that EcoFlex-based skin replicas can be engineered to mimic actual skin textures, wettability, and elasticity, simulating the conditions where bacteria grow and adhere.
