Dejian Huang is a Senior Principal Investigator at the National
University of Singapore (Suzhou) Research Institute (NUSRI) and a Professor
and Head of the Department of Food Science & Technology, Faculty of
Science, National University of Singapore. He received his BSc in Chemistry from
Fujian Normal University in 1987, his MSc in Organic Chemistry from the Chinese
Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou in 1990, and earned his Ph.D. in Inorganic
Chemistry with minor in Organic Chemistry from Indiana University, Bloomington,
USA in 1999. His research interests include 1. Chemical principles of food
bioactive constituents including dietary antioxidants, starch hydrolase
inhibitors, induced phytoalexins, proanthocyanidins, natural products with
anti-aging property, functional food for controlling postprandial
hyperglycemia, dietary organosulfides as slow H2S donors for health promotion;
2. Luminescent molecular and nanoprobes for sensing of reactive oxygen species
of biological and environmental concerns (NO2, NO, SO2, ClO-, H2O2, 1O2); 3. Plant
proteins as biomaterials for 3D bioprinting of scaffolds for 3D cell culture
and biomedical applications.
