Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) has transformed forensic DNA analysis by allowing scientists to examine multiple DNA markers at the same time and in much greater detail than older methods. Even so, MPS is still not widely used in Southeast Asian countries. Researchers from the University of the Philippines Diliman – College of Science’s Natural Sciences Research Institute (UPD-CS NSRI) reviewed the use of MPS in forensic DNA laboratories across the region to identify the key challenges to its adoption.

Nagsulong ang mga scientist mula sa University of the Philippines–Diliman College of Science (UPD-CS) ng greener approach sa silver nanoparticle (AgNP) synthesis sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng gamma irradiation kasama ng natural na seaweed-derived biopolymer ι-carrageenan. Bagaman dati nang naiulat ang mga rutang gamma-radiolytic para sa pagbuo ng AgNP, ang mismong papel ng ι-carrageenan sa pag-stabilize at pag-impluwensya sa pagbuo ng nanoparticle sa ilalim ng proseso ng radiolysis ay nanatiling hindi pa ganap na nauunawaan.

The College of Science Office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs (OADAA) invites all newly enrolled graduate students to this semester's New Graduate Student Orientation on March 2, 2026 (Monday) 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the CS Admin Building Auditorium.
