What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a 3-month internship starting January 2027 in a pharmaceutical, healthcare, or research setting where I can apply laboratory skills, follow GLP protocols, and build experience in quality, regulatory, or research processes.

I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biomedicine at Sunway University, with a 3.75/4.00 CGPA and Dean's List recognition. My coursework focuses on molecular biology, genetics, and clinical chemistry.

During mammalian tissue culture training at Sunway University, I independently maintained a mammalian cell line through routine media changes and incubation. I also assisted with MTT viability assays, observed cell thawing, seeding, passaging, and cryopreservation, and received positive supervisor feedback for disciplined, contamination-free culture work.

I've built practical capability in bacterial culture and identification, aseptic technique, PCR, primer design, gel electrophoresis, BLAST, MAFFT, and scientific literature analysis. Alongside laboratory work, I've supported healthcare events, research studies, and logistics for large university programmes, strengthening my documentation, coordination, and communication skills.
