Summary
I am a fresh graduate from the diploma of Biomedical Science in Ngee Ann Polytechnic, with a minor in Global Readiness. My journey in Biomedical Science has exposed me to diverse aspects of scientific research. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for the intricacies of the field. Hence, I pursued an internship in SIFBI, ASTAR. From that, I found that I was truly passionate about novel research, extending the duration of my research had truly propelled my research progress forward.
