The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology unites scientists in 75 countries or regions through a society, national council, or academy of sciences.

Dr. Fun Man Fung is a trained Analytical Chemist. He earned his postgraduate degrees from NUS and Technische Universität München (TUM). As a passionate educator and aspiring change-maker, he has contributed articles for CNA Channel News Asia, The Straits Times, The Conversation, and the World Economic Forum. His research centers on STEAM Education, EdTech, Science of Learning, and 21st Century Skills. He co-edited two books on Chemistry Education: [1] 10 Things You Must Know About the International Chemistry Olympiad (World Scientific) and [2] Technology-Enabled Blended Learning Experiences for Chemistry Education and Outreach (Elsevier). In 2022, Fun Man was elected council member of the Singapore National Institute of Chemistry (SNIC), and he served on the IUPAC Committee on Chemistry Education since 2020. Since 2021, Fun Man served as a member of the Editorial Advisory Board at the Journal of Chemical Education, ACS Publications, and FEBS Open Bio, the premium Open-Access journal at the Federation of the European Biochemical Societies. He is the founding chair of the ACS International Chemical Sciences Chapter Singapore.

'FEBS Communications' posts general items from the FEBS Network Team as well as news on FEBS events and other activities.

Our lab uses genetically modified mouse models and a combination of cell biology, molecular biology, and biochemistry techniques to study the role of altered mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolism in human diseases. A primary analytical tool of the group is metabolomics, which enables the parallel quantification of hundreds of small molecule metabolites. The team also uses computational approaches to integrate datasets from multi-dimensional analyses, including metabolomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics, with the aim to model aging-related disorders and to generate mechanistic hypotheses that will be cross validated experimentally.

I'm evolutionary biologist and ecologist, interested in the origin of life and the evolution of human cooperation. Teaching is my passion, and I’m looking for new ways to inspire students and keep their interest in biology high.

I am is a National Teaching Fellow and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. My innovative practice has been awarded the Royal Society of Biology HE Educator of the Year award 2019 and recognised by my students with the Sheffield Hallam University Inspirational Teaching Award for the last ten years. I actively collaborate to develop and disseminate his own and others teaching practices, working both within his university and across the sector in learning, teaching and assessment groups. Through these activities, I build technology-enhanced learning methods for student engagement in both the classroom and laboratory. Pedagogical publications are centred on student interaction and engagement. My biological research interests combine protein chemistry, cell culture and mass spectrometry to investigate the molecular basis of Parkinson's disease and cancer spheroid models. Studies focus on developing 3D cell culture models and investigating these through proteomics, metabolomics, and imaging technologies.
