PhD | NUS Research Fellow | Expert in Molecular/Cell Biology, Extracellular Vesicles, Aging & Regenerative Medicine

Profile Summary

I am a Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore (NUS), with a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences. My research expertise spans molecular and cell biology, extracellular vesicles (EVs), stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, aging/senescence, immunology, and osteoarthritis. I specialize in critically evaluating scientific literature, designing experiments, interpreting complex biological datasets (bulk RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, proteomics), and performing bioinformatics analysis using Python, R. I have authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals, including recent work on MSC-EVs for osteoarthritis, cGAS PROTAC degraders, ferroptosis in liver fibrosis, and FcRn signaling in ulcerative colitis. With hands-on experience in both wet-lab and computational biology, I help clients with: In-depth literature reviews and evidence evaluation Experimental design and troubleshooting Data analysis and interpretation of transcriptomics/proteomics datasets Scientific writing, manuscript preparation, and grant proposals AI-assisted research workflows and critical assessment of scientific claims My background combining rigorous experimental research with advanced data analysis and scientific communication makes me well-equipped to support academic, biotech, and pharmaceutical projects requiring high-quality, translational insights. I am available for short-term or ongoing consulting projects and look forward to collaborating with clients seeking expert input in cell biology, regenerative medicine, and related fields.
