I am a multilingual Master of Philosophy (MPhil) graduate with five years of hands-on academic research experience in wet-lab settings at the University of Queensland (UQ) and the National University of Singapore (NUS), specializing in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, and Translational Biology. During my time at UQ, I independently led two research projects. My passion lies in leveraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and laboratory expertise to contribute to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of infectious diseases and chronic conditions such as cancer. I am particularly driven to uncover novel biological pathways that can support the advancement of medicine and the promotion of human health and well-being.
In terms of technical capabilities, I am proficient in a wide range of core laboratory techniques, including cell and tissue culture, confocal microscopy, Western blotting, SDS-PAGE, cell lysate preparation, and PCR. I also have experience working in sterile environments, preparing culture media and buffer solutions, and performing molecular cloning. Alongside my practical skills, I possess a strong theoretical foundation that enables me to approach experiments with both precision and insight.
