What is an antimutagenic?
An antimutagenic is a substance that inhibits or reduces the occurrence of mutations in DNA caused by mutagens (substances that induce genetic mutations). Antimutagens can help protect cells from DNA damage and reduce the risk of cancer and other genetic diseases.
Autobiography of Clara lim-sylianco?
Clara Lim-Sylianco (born August 18, 1925, in Guihulngan, Oriental Negros) is a Filipina National Scientist widely regarded for her contributions in the fields of biochemistry and organic chemistry. Dr. Lim-Sylianco focused on mutagens, antimutagens, and bio-organic mechanisms on her research. Her numerous discoveries of environmental mutagens earned her laboratory at the University of the Philippines the designation of being an international training center for the detection of chemical mutagens by the Research Planning in Biological Sciences, Washington D.C., USA in 1986, as well as her appointment as a member of the International Advisory Committee on Antimutagens in 1989. She is also the author of five books in organic chemistry, biochemistry, genetic toxicology, and molecular nutrition, which are used as references by college chemistry students all over the Philippines. For her contributions, Dr. Lim-Sylianco received the Gregorio Y. Zara award, 1977; the UP Endowment Professorial Chair in Chemistry, 1974-1977; and was a Fellow of the Royal Society, 1958.
