Background and experience

 

I am originally from Brisbane, Australia. I completed a liberal arts degree with a major in Chemistry at Yale-NUS College in Singapore.  

Prior to joining the IMS-MRL, I worked with William Piel at Yale-NUS College where we studied the prevalence of type 2 diabetes-related SNPs in human populations and correlated this with human migration over time.  

I also completed research at Yale University with Dr. Hanno Erythropel where we used analytical chemistry techniques to screen Juul e-cigarettes for compounds that would be harmful to users.

Working at the IMS-MRL

My current project relates to better understanding the mechanism by which insulin resistance is rapidly reversed in response to calorie restriction in obese mice.
