Singapore
As a recent graduate from Nanyang Technological University with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and a second major in Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology, my academic journey has been one of interdisciplinary exploration and hands-on research. My laboratory skills stemmed from my internship experience and final year project (FYP), allowing me to be equipped with molecular biological tools and cellular biology techniques. My recent FYP of enhanced understanding of pathogens had sparked my interest in infectious diseases. Alongside my competencies in analytical and organic chemistry, I am poised to contribute to the biomedical and biopharmaceutical sectors, driven by a commitment to innovation and excellence in healthcare.
