Environmental Engineering Symposium 2024

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to public health. Resistance occurs when bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites undergo genetic changes that protect them from the effects of antimicrobial agents. For example, proteins targeted by antimicrobial agents may undergo changes that essentially ‘hide’ them from the antimicrobial agents. Alternatively, the microbes will develop protective or

Among its insidious forms, microplastics (tiny plastic fragments less than 5 mm in size) are emerging as a pervasive pollutant, found not only in our rivers, oceans and soils but in the water we drink, the

Together with NERI, we were delighted to host an inspiring seminar featuring Asst Prof Jin Xue from the School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering at Oregon State University, and chaired by Prof Hu Jiangyong, NERI Deputy Director and Director of Centre for Water Research, on 10 July 2025. Titled “Sustainable Resources Recovery for Climate-Resilient
