The Graduation Ceremony for Class of 2020, College of Science has been held on July 5th, Conference Hall at Research Building 1, which brought together 432 undergraduate and graduate students, and 64 faculty members, who were all here to recognize the efforts of the graduates and their tutors.

New research conducted at Department of Biology, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) may have determined the kinetics of splicing in plants using Nanopore-based sequencing. It could lead to a better understanding of the RNA splicing process in plants.

Einstein believed that mentors are especially influential in their protégé’s intellectual development. However, there still has a lack of systematic study on the significance of mentorship. Researchers from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) and Northwestern University have integrated and analyzed new and large-scale mentor-mentee relationship data, scientific publications, and scientific awards data.

The structure and function of brain neural circuits are intensively investigated to shed light on the development of new ways for brain disease treatment. Researchers at Dept. of Biology, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) have made significant progress in the development of brain ischemia treatment.

In recent days, “Organic Chemistry Experiments,” a textbook written and edited by theDepartment of Chemistry Professor Bin TAN and Dr. Fang FANG, was published by Higher Education Press. The publication of the textbook has set a new standard in the development of the Department of Chemistry Teaching Center (Center), providing a reference point for the teaching of organic chemistry experiments.

Linying SHANG (’20, Chemistry) is an outstanding student who has loved her life at SUSTech, before deciding to continue her academic pursuits at the University of Cambridge. She strives for excellence in an open-minded, active, and uncompromising approach to probing research, as she has built her dreams.
