About me
I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences in 2023 from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Driven by my passion for research of novel pharmaceuticals, I promptly undertook a PhD as a joint student of Nanyang Technological University and Karolinska Institutet. My ongoing research focuses on the manufacture of protein-drug conjugates through the use of plant-derived peptidyl asparaginyl ligases to enable site-specific bioconjugation. Outside the lab, I am a hobbyist aquarist and dabble in all sorts of DIY projects.
