About

5th year PhD candidate in Life science in HKUST, expected to graduate by August 2026. Throughout the last 5 years, I have developed substantial research skills, including protocol establishment, dry/wet lab skills, and troubleshooting protocol problems to address my research question. I have co-authored on a paper assessing the effects of a soluble protein in Alzheimer's disease in Nature Aging, and am currently in the process in submitting a first-authored paper on the repurposing of drugs for Alzheimer's disease. As such, I am well-versed in scientific technical writing.
