About Me

Career objective

A scientific career involved in investigating the important questions in the field of Structural and Molecular Biology.

Research Interests

I am interested in unravelling and understanding the mechanisms of cellular replication mechanisms, cargo trafficking and the allostery in proteins. The molecular biology of cancer and other diseased states deeply intrigue me.

Graduate Research

National University of Singapore

1. The investigation of the structure of p50RhoGAP and its auto-inhibitory mechanism to control cell signalling and morphology
2. Identification of a novel allosteric site of glutaminase through a drug-protein structure characterization that can potentially lead to better cancer therapeutics and interventions
3. Characterization of BNIP-H complexes in the cholinergic machinery promoting neurite development
