I am a molecular geneticist with expertise in next generation sequencing for inherited rare disorders and cancers. At Foo Lab, I will be involved in interpreting and curating next generation sequencing data spanning different types of rare inherited cardiac conditions. I’m driven by my personal moto of lifelong learning and practising science in the process. When not at work, I like to spend time with my family and love to travel, paint, meet new people from different cultural backgrounds among other things.
Education
