Writing has always been the mainstay of my life—just not any code. I was more of a bad novelist, crafting careless plots on rainy weekends. Yet somewhere along the line, I started to yearn for something new. Something that could pique my interest, but make full use of my writing. That was when I stumbled upon a nascent field of research: Bioinformatics. The multidisciplinary nature of bioinformatics has pushed me to learn more as I progress. Thus far, my coding skills include Python, R, SQL, Java, and Bash. My keen and hardworking nature has allowed me to learn these things quickly. In research, my penchant for writing allows me to interpret and expound concepts well. This is most evident in my fields of interest: artificial intelligence and neuroscience. As a bioinformatician, I aim to expand my technical capabilities every day.
Oocidia is a Singapore-based veterinary pharmaceutical company dedicated to pioneering research and development of revolutionary medicines for animal health. As a core member of the Bioinformatics team, my job involves performing end-to-end drug discovery process using a suite of bioinformatic tools. Responsibilities: ● Multiple sequence alignment, phylogenetic tree construction, and identification of conserved domains. ● Molecular docking of various compounds to target proteins. ● Molecular dynamics simulation of protein-ligand systems. ● Analysis of key interacting residues. ● Visualization of biological systems.
Studying alterations in brain functional activities of schizophrenic and psychotic patients. Working as part of the MRNIL Lab.
Thesis placement in the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Nanomedicine. Worked on voxel-wise magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) patients as part of the Biomedical Imaging group under the supervision of Dr. Li-Wei Kuo. Uncovered alterations in functional connectivity related to cognitive deficit.
Research Collaborator at the Brain and Mind Laboratory. Focused on uncovering voxel-level differences of functional brain images between individuals.
Bioinformatics intern at the KSL Lab in the Institute of Biomedical Sciences under Dr. Kuo-Sheng Lee. My role involves processing and analyzing complex cellular images using state-of-the-art tools to decode the neural mechanisms of somatosensation.
