I have previously worked as a Research Technician in the p53 lab from March 2016 to June 2016, gaining significant experience in operating High Performance Liquid Chromatographic machines for the purification of synthetic peptides. For my educational credentials, I have attained a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (2nd Upper Class Honours) from NUS. I was accepted into the prestigious NUS Graduate School (NGS) of Integrative Sciences and Engineering PhD scholarship Programme in August 2016, of which only 10% of 400 applicants per cohort are chosen based on their strong academic performance and research aptitude. The programme uniquely trains doctoral candidates to become interdisciplinary experts who can comprehend, apply and communicate across different scientific fields. Resultantly, I am confidently familiar with the scientific fields of Organometallic Chemistry and Cancer Immunotherapy. My PhD research project involved uncovering the therapeutic mechanisms of a novel class of anticancer immunotherapeutics called Immunogenic Cell Death (ICD) inducers, which are capable conferring cancer immunity. The research yielded a well-received publication in a high impact, tier-one Chemistry journal (namely Angewandte Chemie) and was designated as an important, “hot” paper by the journal’s editors. Furthermore, the research has also garnered best poster awards at two different international scientific conferences. I am always keen to learn new skills and expand my knowledge into different fields, regardless of my initial unfamiliarity. I have also picked up essential teaching and communication skills through my two years of mentoring final year students, one of whom has been currently accepted into Harvard’s PhD Chemistry Programme. Moreover, my time in the military as a clerk from 2009 to 2010 has allowed me to pick up numerous soft skills, such as graphic design, coordinating meetings between high level commanders, administrative skills and chairing meetings.
