We have been renewed for Phase 2, which goes until the end of 2027, and I am hiring. If you are looking for a #postdoc role in #Singapore and interested in + have some skills for developing technology for medical diagnostics, send me your CV! Aiming for papers, patents + products
It was the opportunity and encouragement to translate technologies from the lab into products that drew me to #Singapore as part of Singapore- #MIT Alliance for Research and Technology. Escaping Boston winter for this after work is a nice perk though!

ChatGPT is everywhere and everyone is using it. But most academics don't know how to use it *smartly.* Here's how to use ChatGPT intelligently (and ethically) for academic purposes:

#SCELSESeminarSeries is back with a bang with Prof Eric Alm from @MIT USA as our first speaker. He will be presenting some of his human microbiome research. Mark your calendars for 10.30am, next Thursday! See you there. #talk #science

Scientists spend too much time taking “professional selfies”. A paper from PNAS describes what it takes to be a scientist today. Key points (that I always emphasize myself): #AcademicTwitter @AcademicChatter #research

This week I was at the 7th World One Health Congress, where they reemphasized the importance of surveillance of antimicrobial resistance & viral diseases and that we cannot afford to fly blind! 1/2

First findings of a fun new collaborative research direction for our team, together with MIT's Pete Dedon. This part impressively spearheaded by @WLin_Lee.
