Background

I am a trained medical doctor and researcher with nearly 30 years experience. I spent my last twenty-five years doing research in cellular and molecular biology.

I secured and managed more than 4.2 million Singapore dollars grants from Singapore Biomedical Research Council (BMRC), Singapore National Research Council (NMRC), SingHealth Research, Duke-NUS-Goh Foundation, Economic Development Board (Singapore), and Bayer Schering Pharma (Germany) as a principal investigator, co-principal investigator, or collaborator during my term as a principal research scientist at National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) during October 2003 to July 2014.

These research grants include reverse epigenetics of hyperhomocysteinemia in cerebrovascular diseases, searching for novel biomarkers of ischaemic heart failure, molecular mechanism of statin-induced diabetes in rodent models, obesity-induced vascular remodeling in vivo and in vitro systems, molecular switch-on switch-off mechanism of vascular Nox4 by tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and investigation of cardioprotective mechanism of a novel compound.
