Bio

I graduated as a medical doctor in 1991 and had 5 years of postgraduate clinical training in internal medicine. Subsequently I acquired my PhD and received my post-doctor training in research on PD in National University of Singapore from 2003. Later I joined the National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) as a member of the National PD Translational Bench to Bedside team and continue to work on PD. Currently, I am a Clinician Scientist at NNI and a regular rank Assistant Professor of NBD, Duke-NUS Medical School as well as a PI of NMRC, SHF and Duke-NUS grants. My research are supported by multiple MOH and NMRC grants including HLCA, CS-IRG, OF-IRG and Duke-Duke-NUS collaboration pilot grants. I have interdisciplinary backgrounds in Medicine, Biochemistry, Biophysics and Translational Neuroscience Researches with scientific training, experience and expertise for translational neuroscience researches. My lab works on research on neurodegenerative disorders, with specific focuses on searching and validating new therapeutic targets and biomarkers in PD and other neuron degenerative diseases. My research works will help uncover the molecular pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and identify new therapeutic targets and biomarkers to improve diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of neurodegenerative disorders.
