Protein chemist with > 9 years of lab experience and proven expertise in scientific literature and grant writing.

Profile Summary

Expert in molecular biology, protein expression and purification as well as structural biology techniques such as X-ray crystallography and small-angle X-ray scattering. Currently working as a postdoctoral research fellow at Monash University, my current research interests lie in understanding various factors affecting the clot removal pathway in the vascular system and from there, discovering antibody therapeutics to modulate bleeding in trauma. I speak fluent english, mandarin chinese, cantonese and malay.
