About

I am a scientist with extensive experience in both academic labs and accredited clinical labs, focusing on bone/cartilage research and clinical test development, skilled in various techniques ranging from NGS (germline/somatic/single cell transcriptomics on Illumina platform), ddPCR, qPCR, transgenic mouse models, histology, antibody staining, in situ hybridization, cloning, cell culture, western blotting and liquid chromatography. I have a keen interest in new technologies and clinical test development.
