As part of a continuing effort to bridge the gender gap for women scientists, L’Oréal Singapore celebrated three outstanding women researchers in the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science 2023 program. Dr Leow Wan Ru, Dr Yang Le and Dr Xue Shifeng each received S$10,000 to advance their research.

These 26 female scientists are all movers and shakers in their chosen fields, from mathematics to materials science.

Each year, Asian Scientist Magazine highlights 100 outstanding thinkers and innovators from Asia who are pushing the envelope with their research.

Using frogs and fish as model organisms, Dr. Xue Shifeng is shedding light on some of the most fundamental processes in developmental biology.

The awards recognize scientists who have helped place Singapore on the map of global research.
