Meet Me

I’m a former secondary school science teacher, currently studying biochemistry with high interest in a career in Virology. 

5 years of experience with over 2,000 hours of wet lab research and 145 hours dry lab experience throughout undergrad study and internships.

… study viruses, how they interact with the host cell and how the immune system responds against viruses.

… taking a variety of courses in Virology and Virology related, like Microbiology, Immunology, etc. Also I am currently doing an internship at the Virology Department in my School.

… lead a group of 5 to 10 young graduates into developing vaccines in a creative new way against a broad spectrum of viruses.
