      Collaborated with Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), A*STAR to investigate the role of novel oncogenic factors in ER+/HER2-, HER2+ and Triple Negative breast cancers, and the role of protein inhibition in solid tumours by performing molecular biology experiments such as cell line culture, chemotherapy drug treatment assays, tumourspheres, droplet digital PCR, and other protein studies. Under this clinical research, I have submitted an abstract for this study and was selected for NCAM 2020's Basic Science poster presentation. Other work: Tumour processing from mice models to prepare for downstream IHC staining, and investigating novel immunotherapy drug treatment on breast and liver cancer cells. Show less
