Research Fellow

Ph.D. in Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore

Master of Technology in Biotechnology, Anna University, India

Bachelor of Technology in Biotechnology, Anna University, India

Project: RNA-based translational technologies for diagnostic and therapeutic applications

The domain of nucleic acid has always fascinated me. I obtained my doctoral degree from the National University of Singapore for my research on identifying the role of small non-coding RNA, piRNA, and its associated proteins in biological processes related to the brain. In my post-doctoral training, I wanted to focus on developing technologies that have translational potential to benefit people suffering from various disease conditions. Excitingly, my current work on RNA therapeutics aligns with my interest. Besides science, I enjoy spending time in nature (basically Opacarophile) and have a newfound passion for food photography and portrait sketching!

CHERMAINE TAN

PhD student (A*GA)

Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) (Hons),

National University of Singapore, Singapore

Projects: RNA therapeutics and delivery

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.

SHENGNAN LI, PHD

Research Fellow

PhD in Neuroscience, University College London, UK
BSc in Biomedical Science, University College London, UK

PROJECTS: RNA technologies for in vivo gene regulation

I graduated from University College London with a PhD in Neuroscience, the research focus for my PhD and 1st post-doc was to discover the novel genes involved in nociception pathways and understand their analgesic potential using gene therapy. In addition, I also worked with congenital insensitivity to pain patients to screen for potential disease-causing genes that is important for pain sensing. Subsequently, I joined another group that is working on the development of potential gene therapy to treat neuromuscular disease. I have strong interest in gene therapy, and this is fits well with my current project in the group. Beside science, I enjoy cooking, gardening and museums.

SAMUEL KEVIN PASARIBU

Research Officer

BS in Life Sciences and Statistics,

National University of Singapore

PROJECTS: High-throughput ribozyme screening

Hi, everyone! I am just graduated from NUS with Life Sciences/Statistics double major. My research experiences include genetic engineering of filamentous fungi for heterologous protein production and characterization of a dual-role telomeric protein/transcriptional regulator. Currently, my interests are all about RNA technology, protein biochemistry, and cancer biology. I hope to contribute to the advancement of molecular therapeutics. Outside the lab, I spend my spare time as a volunteer competitive biology tutor, where I equip students for the national biology olympiad. I also enjoy hiking, gaming, listening to music, and reading music journalism, specifically modern Japanese pop. Please hit me up if you want to exchange music playlists :)

YOU!
