Work Experience
Research Intern
Host-Pathogen Interactions Lab under A*STAR Infectious Diseases Labs
Sept 2023 - Present
During my tenure at the Host-Pathogens Interaction Lab in Infectious Diseases Labs, A*STAR, I gained valuable hands-on experience in biomedical research, including cell culture and animal models, such as zebrafish and mice. I mastered techniques such as single-cell injections, trunk injections, and caudal vein injections in fish. I investigated various pathogens, including alphaviruses and bacteria, using immunological, microbiological, and molecular biological techniques such as Western blotting, PCR, etc. This research enhanced my understanding of infectious diseases and their translational applications, providing me with valuable insights for advancing biomedical research. This experience not only strengthened my technical skills but also ignited my passion for translational research, solidifying my commitment to contributing to innovative solutions in the pharmaceutical industry.
