🧬 G.E.N.E Symposium 2026 – A Celebration of Learning, Networking and Reconnection We conclude the G.E.N.E Symposium (Gathering for Exploration, Networking & Experimentation) with immense pride and gratitude. A student-led initiative by our School of Applied Science - Temasek Polytechnic Medical Biotechnology Interest Group (MBIG), the event truly embodied the spirit of our MBT community! 👏 Kudos to our MBIG student leaders for your outstanding organisation, ownership, and heart. From cross-cohort bonding to a well-curated symposium and hackathon, you created a meaningful platform for peers to connect, learn and grow together. 🙏 Deep appreciation to our distinguished speakers and alumni for your time and insight. Your sharing helped our students better see the possibilities, navigate pathways, and find their fit: ▫️ Prof. Sharon Wong – insights into the allied health landscape ▫️ Mr. Alfred Lim & Asst. Prof. Wei Wen Lim – journeys from TP to industry and academia ▫️ Assoc. Prof. Chueh Loo Poh – perspectives on engineering biology and the new bioeconomy ▫️ Alumni Clara Yang, Shi Yun Quek and Josabella Tan – for their honest, relatable reflections! *So glad to see you guys doing well out there! 🫶😊 To all our MBT students who participated – we hope you leave inspired, connected, and ready to shape your future. Let’s continue to learn together, support one another, and grow as one MBT community. 💕 * Photo credit: ASC Press 👍 #T64MedicalBiotechnology Koon-Guan L. | Louisa Chew | Martin Cai | Kit Lun Chan | Tan Kay Yee
