SCM young scholars have distinguished themselves at the 51st International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva, earning Gold and Bronze Medals among over 1,000 inventions from more than 40 countries and regions worldwide.

Gold Medal

Development of Fe65-Engineered Exosome–Corynoxine B Nasal Spray for Alzheimer’s Disease Therapy

Dr. Ashok Iyaswamy, Visiting Assistant Professor of the Teaching and Research Division (CMTR)

This invention pioneers a novel intranasal drug delivery platform for Alzheimer’s disease therapy. The research team has engineered exosomes, cell-driven extracellular vesicles, to serve as drug carriers. These exosomes are loaded with Corynoxine-B, a bioactive compound extracted from Chinese herbal medicine, enabling direct drug delivery to the brain via the nasal cavity. This strategy promotes autophagy, which supports cellular health and enhances cognitive and motor abilities in  Alzheimer’s patients, thus offering a non-invasive and potential therapeutic option.

Bronze Medal

Tryptophan sulfonate: a new chemical marker for accurate and efficient inspection of sulfur-treated food products 

Professor Xu Jun, Assistant Professor of CMTR

The research team developed a rapid and accurate inspection method using tryptophan sulfonate as a novel marker for sulfur-treated food and Chinese herbal medicinal products. This technique offers efficient large-scale sample screening, enhancing food safety and strengthening quality assurance.

This continued international success showcases our research innovations and their tangible impact on global challenges. The School is dedicated to driving cutting-edge research and empowering outstanding young scholars, equipping them with the resources and opportunities to realise their full potential.
