๐Ÿ“ฃ The Faculty of Science has been renamed the Faculty of Science and Technology with effect from 1 September 2026.

๐Ÿ“š Since 1961, the Faculty has advanced research and teaching through its five Departmentsโ€”Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics. โ€Over 65 years, our activities have expanded to encompass a broad spectrum of scientific ๐Ÿ”ฌ and technological โš™๏ธ fields. The renaming of the Faculty will better reflect our technology-integrated identity and future vision.

Please join us to commemorate this milestone and celebrate our legacy. ๐ŸŽ‰

Breathing polluted air filled with fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is known to cause lung problems, heart disease, and other health issues. But scientists have long wondered: why some PM2.5 are more toxic than others? A recent study led by ๐๐ซ๐จ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ ๐‡๐” ๐ƒ๐ข from the Department of Chemistry dug deeper by breaking down real-world PM2.5 collected in Shenzhen, China, into its main chemical parts, i.e., water-soluble metals, water-soluble non-metals, water-soluble total fraction, lipid-soluble compounds, and the full PM2.5 mixture.

The team tested how these different fractions affect oxidative stress (a kind of cellular rusting caused by reactive oxygen molecules), inflammation, and gene activity in cells that mimic those in our lungs.

Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) are core functional materials widely used to manufacture electronic displays for smartphones, TVs, and computers. Since LCMs are not chemically bonded to the screens, they easily escape into the environment during manufacturing, daily device use and e-waste dismantling. Although scientists know humans are exposed to LCMs, the way our bodies metabolise them and the potential risks of their breakdown products remain unclear.

To explore the metabolic fate of these pollutants, a research team led by ๐๐ซ๐จ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ ๐Š๐ž๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ข๐ง ๐‹๐„๐”๐๐†, Head and Professor of the Department of Chemistry, and ๐ƒ๐ซ ๐‰๐š๐ฉ๐ก๐ž๐ญ ๐‹๐€๐–, Research Assistant Professor of the Department, simulated in vitro human liver metabolism to map out the biotransformation pathways of six representative LCMs.
