My key contributions to the project are:• Designed and conducted Proof-of-Concept experiments to help license out the technology to a US-based investment company for COVID-19 diagnostics.• Push the technology from prototype to product by having problems like shelf lifetime, usability, medium-volume manufacturing, etc. addressed. Help designed both the central-lab and POCT/OTC versions of the diagnostic kit • Drafted GMP-style manufacturing protocols; gained exposure to diagnostic kit regulatory approval.• Developed Android APP prototype from scratch to enable diagnostic readout based on smartphone camera. Backend written in Python and hosted on Amazon Web Service (AWS), and frontend in Flutter• Organized a clinical validation involving close-to-300 participants for weekly to monthly antibody test. Managed both administrative and scientific aspects including ethics approval clearance, participant recruitment, visit scheduling, test feedback, participant sample collection, data processing workflow, and data summarization• Co-founded a company called Nanoforce• Prepare and present business-grade pitch deck to potential licensees and investors of the technology Show less

Prof Alexander Bershadsky’s Lab, Mechanobiology Institute Combined microfluidics with optical tweezers and epifluorescence to investigate how stretching force impacts Formin-induced actin growth rate

Dr Liu Ruchuan's lab, Mechanobiology InstituteUsed magnetic tweezers built from electromagnetics and TIRF microscope to apply mechanical force on a single protein molecule and monitor its structural change as the response. My research work established a novel method of investigating intrinsically disordered protein
