MANDY LIM, PHD

Research Fellow

PhD in Biological Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

BS in Biological Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

PROJECTS: MicroRNA sensors; MicroRNA expression and regulation, RNA technologies and RNA therapeutics

I completed my PhD at Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory in 2019, where I studied mechanisms of miRNA processing and expression during development, and their biological roles in gene regulation. I am currently working on projects to engineer a novel context-specific ribozyme-based technology platform for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Besides translational RNA technologies, I am also interested in the non-coding genome in development and disease. In my free time, I enjoy solo travel and spending time outdoors in nature.

CHI JIEYING

Research Officer

BA (Hons) in Natural Sciences, Cambridge University, United Kingdom

PROJECTS: RNA technologies for in vivo gene regulation

I graduated from University of Cambridge in June 2020 with a BA (Hons) in Natural Sciences, specialising in Biochemistry. Understanding disease mechanisms and developing new therapeutics has always been my interest. I’m excited to work on developing ribozymes for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Outside of research, I enjoy playing badminton and solving puzzles.

CHERMAINE TAN

Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) (Hon), National University of Singapore, Singapore

PROJECTS: Neurodegeneration, RNA therapies

I am a fresh graduate from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering). I enjoy working on interdisciplinary projects together with people of different expertise. The collision and integration of ideas from different minds has never failed to amaze me. As part of my resolution for the year, I have been trying to read a variety books during my free time these days and I also enjoy watching thriller and crime films.

PETER LOW

Research Officer

BS in Life Sciences, National University of Singapore

PROJECTS: Ribozyme screening pipeline development

I graduated from National University of Singapore in 2015 with a Bachelors in life sciences. Currently I’m working on a screening pipeline for ribozymes. The current research involving RNA work is interesting and is a new field for me which I’m slowly developing skills in. I hope to contribute useful data to the lab in my time here.

YOU!
