Research intern in neuroscience at Adam Claridge-Chang's Lab, studying Fragile X syndrome in Drosophila.

Singapore
Message

At Adam Claridge-Chang's Lab, I participated in the Neuroscience and Behavioural Disorders Research Program, studying molecular and behavioural aspects of Fragile X syndrome using Drosophila melanogaster. My work included Western blotting for FMRP detection and PCR genotyping.

For my dissertation, I studied the association of serum vitamin A and zinc with diabetic retinopathy. I analysed serum samples using high-performance liquid chromatography and atomic absorption spectrophotometry, then used SPSS to analyse the data. The research contributed to a 2023 publication in F1000Research.

I’ve also worked as a medical officer and taught medical biochemistry, preparing lectures and supervising laboratory sessions. My training includes an MSc in Precision Medicine from NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE and an M.Phl. in Medical Biochemistry.
