The Science Library, UP Diliman 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲. Center of excellence for science information in support of teaching, extension, and research. Mrs. Lourdes T. Marie Antoinette Villaflor. Mx.

Center of excellence for science information in support of teaching, extension, and research activities of the UP Diliman College of Science. The College of Science Library (CSLIB) was founded following the establishment of the College of Science by the Board of Regents at its 962nd meeting on October 26, 1983. After its inauguration on June 24, 1987 at the initiative of the institution’s first dean, Dr. Roger Posadas, the library has been instrumental in the College’s primary functions of education, research, and extension activities. From 1987 until 1994, the CSLIB functioned as a traditional library, with a collection primarily comprised of print works moved from the U.P. Main Library and the National Science Research Institute. It used the card catalog and printed abstracts and indexes to gain access to information. Interlibrary borrowing was restricted to the University of the Philippines System and nearby university libraries. David, its previous Head Librarian, assumed the leadership of the DOST-ESEP Library Network in 1992. The acquisition of an integrated library software called “TINLIB” marked the start of its automation effort. In 1993, CSLIB received a UNESCO grant that funded infrastructure upgrades in the library. On its 25th anniversary, it took on a larger building from the old CSLAB, which was converted to CSLIB. The renovation is part of the library’s improvement project, which aims to give more facilities and services to its patrons. In order to meet the increasing demand of users, the library expanded its offerings by establishing institute libraries. This one-of-a-kind configuration will eventually help with service customization and modification to meet the individual needs of library users. In 2007, Dr. Caesar Saloma envisioned the establishment of the UP College of Science Institute Libraries at the start of his three-year tenure as CS Dean which coincided with Mrs. Jocelyn Razal’s appointment as CSLIB Head Librarian. The Institute Libraries were officially established in April 2011 during the tenure of the current CSLIB Head Librarian, Mrs. Concurrently, most of the new CS Institute buildings were eventually erected in the National Science Complex during this period, providing room for the Institute Libraries. Susannah V. Deasis supervised the early establishment of the institute libraries until 2013. Fraymon Joy P. Cruz is now assisting the Head Librarian in managing and modernizing the physical and digital learning spaces of the College’s nine (9) Institute Libraries to support the core tasks of instruction, research, and extension activities.

Mahalaga ang pag-detect ng magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) sa biosensing dahil maaari itong gamitin upang matukoy nang may mataas na accuracy ang mga molecule na may kaugnayan sa sakit. Sa pamamagitan nito, maaaring mapahusay ang mga pagsusuring medikal at masuportahan ang mas personalized na healthcare. Gayunpaman, hindi ito madaling gawin dahil kadalasang nahihirapan ang mga kasalukuyang magnetic sensor na maihiwalay ang signal mula sa mga particle sa background noise. Dahil dito, nakabuo ang mga siyentista mula sa University of the Philippines – Diliman College of Science (UPD-CS), kasama ang kanilang mga collaborator, ng bago at murang pamamaraan ng pag-detect.

Nakipagtulungan sina Wendell Manuel at Dr. Marienette Vega ng Materials Science and Engineering Program UP Diliman kina Dakota Brown, Dan Luu, Tri-Duc Luong, at Dr. Manh-Huong Phan ng University of South Florida upang makabuo ng bagong microfluidic detection system—isang device na kayang magsuri ng napakaliit na dami ng magnetic nanoparticles sa isang fluid.

Sa halip na direktang sukatin ang mga nakakalat na MNPs, gumagamit ang nasabing sistema ng external na magnet upang tipunin ang mga ito sa loob ng isang copper coil. Habang naiipon ang MNPs sa loob ng coil, nababago nila ang electrical response nito, kaya nagkakaroon ng mas malakas at mas madaling masukat na signal.

Sinubukan ng team ang sistema gamit ang iron filings at magnetic iron oxide MNPs. Natuklasan nilang tuloy-tuloy na tumataas ang signal habang nadaragdagan ang dami ng mga particle. Nagpakita rin ng magkaibang signal patterns ang dalawang uri ng magnetic particles dahil magkaiba ang kanilang magnetic at electrical properties.

Ipinapakita nito na hindi lamang kayang ma-detect at masukat ng system ang magnetic nanoparticles nang may mataas na sensitivity at mas magandang signal-to-noise ratio kumpara sa isang katumbas na giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) sensor. May potensyal din itong matukoy ang pagkakaiba ng iba’t ibang uri ng magnetic particles batay sa kanilang electrical characteristics.

Sa hinaharap, maaaring pagsamahin ang approach na ito sa polymer-coated MNPs na kayang kumapit sa mga target molecule. Maaari itong magbigay-daan sa pagbuo ng mas mabilis, mas accurate, at mas abot-kayang biosensors para sa pag-detect ng disease biomarkers at sa pagpapahusay ng mga pamamaraang medikal sa pag-diagnose.

How does science influence national policy and environmental protection during times of crisis? Join us for the next edition of iStories featuring Dr. Benjamin M. Vallejo Jr.—Professor of Environmental Science at UP Diliman, AUX Commodore with the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary, and leading expert in governmental science advice!💡🌊

In this session, “Innovation, Governmental, Science Advice, and the Environment,” we will explore:

📌 Science Advice in Action: Key insights from evaluating governmental science advice and policy responses during national crises and health emergencies.

📌 Protecting Marine & Port Environments: Research-backed approaches to addressing marine biological invasions, biofouling, and environmental biosecurity in Philippine harbors.

📌 Bridging Science, Security & Policy: How marine environmental science intersects with national defense, maritime safety, and regional science diplomacy.

Whether you’re a student, researcher, or advocate interested in science policy, environmental management, and governance, this conversation offers vital perspectives on translating science into national impact!
