Over 60 members and guests attended the first NUSS (National University of Singapore Society) Professorship Lecture of the year on 24 January at Kent Ridge Guild House. Associate Professor George Dimopoulos, from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s Molecular Microbiology and Immunology department, shared his insights on curing mosquito vectors of human diseases.
