PhD Scientist | Flow Cytometry, Immunology & Translational Oncology Consultant

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-trained immunologist and translational scientist with 15+ years of research experience across immunology, oncology, biotechnology and life sciences. I specialize in flow cytometry, immune phenotyping, cell sorting, cell-based assay development, biomarker studies, single-cell workflows and experimental troubleshooting. My expertise includes high-parameter and spectral flow cytometry, panel design, controls, compensation and spectral unmixing strategies, gating and data interpretation, FACS/cell sorting, rare-cell analysis, mammalian and primary immune-cell workflows, qPCR, ELISA, Luminex, Western blotting, RNA/DNA processing and NGS-related workflows. I also have experience integrating flow cytometry and cell sorting with 10x Genomics gene-expression and V(D)J/TCR/BCR workflows. In my current role as a Scientist III / Field Application Scientist at Thermo Fisher Scientific, I provide scientific and technical expertise to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, clinical and academic laboratories. My work includes experimental design, assay and workflow optimization, complex troubleshooting, data-quality improvement, scientific training and translating biological research requirements into practical technical solutions. Previously, as a Senior Scientist at EnGeneIC, I designed and executed translational mechanism-of-action and biomarker studies supporting oncology programs involving CRISPR therapeutics, bispecific antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates. At the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, I developed advanced multiparameter flow cytometry, cell-sorting and single-cell genomics capabilities for translational immunology, oncology and biomarker-discovery research. My earlier research includes translational pancreatic cancer research at UNSW, cancer biology and Wnt-signalling research at Duke-NUS Medical School, and doctoral/postdoctoral research in immunology and cancer biology at the University of Cambridge. My PhD research focused on cancer stem-cell populations in anaplastic large cell lymphoma. I can support clients with scientific consulting, experimental design and troubleshooting, flow cytometry panel and workflow design, assay development and optimization, data interpretation, biomarker and translational research strategy, scientific literature review, technical and scientific writing, SOP development, research documentation, and training materials. I particularly enjoy projects where complex experimental or biological questions need to be translated into clear, scientifically rigorous and practical recommendations.
