Aurora State College of Technology (ASCOT) continues to contribute to scientific research through a newly published international study co-authored by College President Dr. Renato G. Reyes together with researchers Mark Kevin S. Lopez, Dr. Sofronio P. Kalaw, Rich Milton R. Dulay, and Angeles M. De Leon.
Published in the Asia-Pacific Journal of Science and Technology, the study explored a unique fungal species called Xylaria papulis and examined its possible health-related properties under different laboratory conditions.
The researchers found that the fungus contains natural compounds with antioxidant properties and showed initial potential for future biomedical and health-related studies. The study also highlights how fungi may serve as sustainable sources of useful bioactive compounds that could contribute to future scientific and technological innovations.
Beyond his responsibilities as ASCOT President, Dr. Reyes continues to actively lead scientific research initiatives, operate his own laboratory, and contribute to international publications—demonstrating his continued commitment to advancing mushroom science, innovation, and research-driven education.
