Bio
Hui Yee is a wet-lab Research Fellow at Centre for Computational Biology (CCB). Prior to working as a Research Fellow, Hui Yee was a PhD candidate at NARA Institute of Science & Technology (NAIST), Japan. She focused on the lung regeneration by applying viral vector-based gene delivery of lung-specific transcription factors to the mice diseased model. She mainly focused on the alveolar and airway epithelial pathological phenotypes, followed by the stromal and immune phenotypes. Besides that, she also experienced on analyzing pathological changes on various tissues such as liver, pancreas and testis after viral-based gene delivery. She is proficient in the experimental skills of molecular biology such as cell culture, real-time PCR, histology, cytology, western blot and animal experiments. She also has experience on generation of Adeno-associated virus (AAV), including the production at laboratory scale, purification and verification of the recombinant AAV. Her master research in University of Malaya focused on elucidating the modulation effects of anti-diabetic compound on TNF--induced insulin-resistance models using human tendon cells as an implication for diabetic tendinopathy. Her bachelor degree research was focused on discovering the protection role of anti-oxidant on the ex vivo murine hematopoietic stem cells. With her experiences on in vitro, ex vivo & in vivo hands-on exposures, together with her discipline-specific conceptual knowledge, she is enthusiastic to continue engaging in the field of translational biology research, with the ultimate goal to improve human health.
