1. Utilise combinations of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies to identify new biomarker-associated therapies for oral cancer treatment2. Oversee development of various research projects including experimental design and analysis with minimal supervision3. Acquired strong documentation and complex problem-solving skills by developing a semi-autonomous workflow to compile, analyse and visualise large scale quantitative data

1. Conducted genome-wide CRISPR screens across 21 oral cancer cell lines to identify genetic vulnerabilities 2. Worked closely with team members to ensure experiments were well-coordinated timely delivery of high quality results3. Developed strong oral and written communication skills via project updates in weekly team meetings and bi-annual organisation-wide meetings

1. Optimised methodology for the quantitative measurement of EBV DNA copy number in nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) cell lines2. Facilitated in securing project grants by conducting literature reviews, submitting written proposals and budget plans to funding bodies3. Consolidated and established standard operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure consistency in quality of work and minimise potential injuries in the laboratory4. Managed and maintained inventory of laboratory reagents and consumables

• Investigated the role of p62 in regulating the migration of APC-mutant cells across the zebrafish embryonic epithelium• Supervised and trained new staff and interns on current standard operating procedures (SOPs) as well as laboratory techniques and analysis

• Investigated the role of lysosomes in regulating the migration of APC-mutant cells across the zebrafish embryonic epithelium in the Tada Lab• Collaborated with different lab members to develop new methodologies in quantifying cell extrusion based on acquired confocal images• Developed research skills including confocal imaging, antibody staining and zebrafish handling• Acquired oral and written communication skills through dissertation writing and presenting research findings during our course assessment
