*Nurul Azlyn was attached at the NUS Department of Pharmacy for internship and final year project under the supervision of Assoc Prof Rachel Ee. Her FYP is on “Self-Assembled DNA Nanohydrogels as Antimicrobial Peptide Delivery Vehicles”. She has successfully synthesized DNA nanohydrogels that can encapsulate antimicrobial peptides to overcome the issue of rapid protease degradation and cytotoxicity. The nanonhydrogels were found to be biocompatible to mammalian cells and suitable to be used as drug delivery vehicles.
