After completing my undergraduate degree in biology, I pursued bioinformatics, combining my passions for biology and computer science. My Ph.D. program allowed me to deepen my knowledge in computer science within a biological context, emphasizing the application of computational methods to understand biology. I then joined The Blueprint Initiative Asia, focusing on curating the BIND database for protein-protein interactions, where I learned the importance of teamwork, communication, and managing large datasets. Following the closure of Blueprint Initiative due to funding end, I moved to A*STAR's Bioinformatics Institute, supporting bioinformatics analysis and appreciating the necessity of understanding biology for effective collaboration and developing user-friendly web platforms. A brief period at Thomson Reuters involved enhancing the BIND database before I transitioned to Eli Lilly, gaining insights into research and development within a large organization. The closure of Lilly's Singapore center led me to the Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN) as a bioinformatics scientist, where my varied experiences contributed to successful collaborations and scientific publications. Leading the Computational Immunology group, we worked across local research groups, indicating the significant impact of our work. Recently, I transitioned to LKCMedicine, aiming to establish a Centre for Biomedical Informatics to enhance the institute's research capabilities.
