Dr Chua Song-lin, Assistant Professor of the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology (ABCT), and Dr Liu Yang, GBA Startup Postdoctoral Fellow of ABCT, were interviewed by Wen Wei Po on their award-winning invention – MicroGlue. It is a microbial biotechnology that offers a safe, low-cost and efficient way to remove microplastics from water. It uses biodegradable microbial-derived polymers that aggregate hard-to-remove microplastic contaminants into clumps that are easily separable and removable from the environment.
