• Awarded The Research Experience (REx) Grant by NUS• Conducted research on drug-induced autophagy modulation in in-vitro cell culture models, utilising western blotting and immunofluorescence microscopy techniques.• Explored cell-type-specific signalling mechanisms by analysing kinase pathway responses in neuronal and non-neuronal cell lines.

Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for LSM2233 Cell Biology in AY24/25 Semester 1 under the Undergraduate Teaching Opportunities Programme by Science (UTOS)Curriculum:Introduction to Cell Biology · Lysosomes · Protein Trafficking · Apoptosis · Cell division · Cellular Signaling · Experimental Techniques

• Executed manual and automated laboratory techniques essential for accurate diagnostics across five key departments — Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology, Molecular Diagnosis, Haematology and Blood Banking.

Project title: ‘In vitro effect of FXIII Deficiency on thromboelastography’• Developed an in-vitro model to assess the impact of Factor XIII deficiency on clot stability under simulated surgical conditions using Thromboelastography.• Conducted experimental protocols involving blood sample collection and plasma reconstitution with varied FXIII concentrations to simulate fibrinolysis.

• Executed phlebotomy for patients of various age groups, establishing rapport and empathetic communication.• Managed specimens and performed sample processing and running of panel tests on automated analysers.
