Scorpions. King Cobras. Malaysian pit vipers. Dangerous animals that strike fear into the hearts of children and adults alike. But in the near future, an interactive information kiosk will help people understand that venoms and toxins from dangerous animals, plants and insects can be used, not to harm, but to save lives. A multidisciplinary team of researchers at NUS' Venom and Toxin Research Group (VTRG), led by Associate Professor P. Gopalakrishnakone from the Department of Anatomy, has made significant contributions to basic and applied research in this field. In collaboration with INTRO (Industry and Technology Relations Office), CDTL staff are developing a multimedia package for the kiosk that will help share this information with the general public.
