I am a Pharmacy graduate from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a research interest in organic synthesis, toxicology, and infectious diseases. In October 2020, I embarked on my doctoral studies in Chemistry as part of the University of Cambridge’s Syntech CDT.

I have been affiliated with the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR) since 2011, and have worked in the following Research Institutes (RIs):

• Experimental Drug Development Centre (EDDC) (2019 – 2020)
• Bioinformatics Institute (BII) (2017)
• Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (now IBB) (2015)
• Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) (2011 – 2012)

In NUS, my undergraduate research work consisted of two research projects that revolved around tuberculosis: 1) discovering antitubercular agents that utilise new mechanisms of action against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and 2) finding ways to reduce side effects of the tuberculosis drug regimens in use.
