Mission

To create an impact on immuno-medicine through:​

  • Consultation with basic scientists, clinicians and industry to understand what they need

  • Collaboration with scientists and engineers to create innovative technologies

  • Communicating discoveries within the scientific community and with the broader society

 

​Philosophy

  • To generate scientific impact, research will be performed with high reproducibility, ethical considerations, and through competition and collaborations

  • To nurture the next generation of scientific leaders, students in the lab will be engaged in high-level research, given opportunities for overseas internships and competitions, and encouraged to explore careers in academia, industry and entrepreneurship

  • To engage society in science, the lab will continually communicate with members of society through articles, illustrations and lab tours

​

Opportunities​

There are projects for graduate students and postdocs in nanotechnology, tissue engineering and soft robotics. Desirable skills of research trainees include​

  • Immunology and regenerative medicine

  • Soft robotics and bioelectronics

  • Artificial intelligence and high throughput systems

​

We are hiring PhD students and postdocs in immune sciences, soft robotics and artificial intelligence/machine learning. Uncertain about doing a PhD, perhaps my talk can help?

​

Interested candidates should send their CV, unoffical transcript (for undergraduates) and names of 2 referees to bietkpa(at)nus.edu.sg. I make an effort to review each application carefully and if you do not hear from me, it means that you have not been shortlisted.

​

Here are some scholarships for PhD students and postdocs (list from NUS):
