From the news article:
What if diabetic patients could simply pop an insulin pill instead of injecting themselves daily to manage their blood sugar levels? It is a possibility with new intelligent materials that will know exactly when to release the insulin into the bloodstream.
Such breakthrough innovations could soon become reality with the launch of the world’s first institute that is dedicated to the design, synthesis, and application of functional intelligent materials at NUS.
The Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials (I-FIM) – NUS’ newest national Research Centre of Excellence (RCE) – hopes to revolutionise new interdisciplinary approaches towards materials synthesis.
