Singapore
I am pursuing my PhD at Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (NTU, Singapore) under the Nutrition and Metabolism group. My research interests include metabolic disorders, gut microbiome, complex inter-organ crosstalk, and system biology using bioinformatics and multi-omics analysis. Absolutely keen on linking up to discuss and indulge in any exciting ideas!

Undergraduate Advance Experimental Biology (UAEB) -intensive experimental modules to train undergraduate and postgraduate students in particular experimental techniques. BS3332 Methods in Histology (AY2019/2020 Spring) Grade: A+ Conducted and graded on mice dissection experiments and harvesting of specific organs for histological processing. Conducted experiments using common histology methods such as - cryo- and paraffin embedded sectioning, - staining techniques like H&E, Oil Red O, Masson Trichrome Data analysis using dimension reduction and clustering algorithms to summarize findings Presented findings in written and presentation modes. BS3344 Macromolecular X-ray Crystallography (AY2020/2021 Fall) Grade: A+ Module is taken concurrently with PhD students Studied principles in crystal growing, X-ray diffraction data collecting, processing as well as phasing. Experiments involved crystal growing and data collection and preprocessing of x-ray diffraction images. Applied these concepts in understanding and explaining literature assignment. BS3331 Applied Immunology (AY2021/2022 Fall) Grade: A+ - analyse the immunological response generated in situ in the respiratory tract and correspondent draining lymph nodes during an influenza infection. - compared cells, serum, bronchial lavages and tissues obtained from an uninfected control and from an H1N1 influenza (strain A/PR8/1934) infected mouse and visualize viral specific immune responses which take place during the progression of the infection - Techniques: Multi-parameter flow cytometry, ELIZA, RT-qPCR, multi-dimensional data analysis
BS3332 Methods in Histology (March, Spring 2022) -Planned experimental design for the module, conducted teaching for experimental techniques and troubleshooting of experiments. -Techniques taught: mouse dissection, histological sample embedding and sectioning, data analysis, unsupervised learning for multi-dimensional data BS0004 Introduction to Data Science (Aug - Dec, Fall 2020) -Independently conducted a semestral core module (3 Academic Units) for a class of approximately 60 sophomores. In this module we explore issues pertaining to emerging data sciences and artificial intelligence, introduced important topics in data science such as critical thinking in experimental design, data visualization, basic network theory and biology, as well as basic machine learning concepts. BS2003 Biochemistry II (Aug - Dec, Fall 2020) -Provided safety briefing, explanations on scientific concepts, laboratory guidance and mentorship for the laboratory practical components to a class of 50 undergraduate sophomores in the core module BS2003 Biochemistry I. BS1005 Biochemistry I (Jan - April, Spring 2020) -Provided safety briefing, explanations on scientific concepts, laboratory guidance and mentorship for the laboratory practical components to a class of 50 undergraduate freshmen in the core module BS1005 Biochemistry I.
