About

I am a graduating student in Diploma in Biomedical Science at Republic Polytechnic, specialising in track on biomedical research. My mission is to push the boundaries of science through research to build and safeguard Singapore's intellectual capital. My ten-month experience in research and cell culturing has built me strong foundation and readiness for multidisciplinary fields. This is because cells are the fundamental unit studied across forensic science, pharmaceutical science, oncology, immunology and neuroscience. The hands-on training not only strengthened my technical skills but also broadened my professional network and deepened resilience, shaping me into a future scientist who is eager to find meaningful solutions for complex challenges.
