I am a year three student from School of Life Science and Chemical Technology of Ngee Ann Polytechnic. I participate in an internship which is directly linked to my final year project (FYP) and thus I am given the chance to be involved in laboratory work for a research project in Nanyang Technological University (NTU). By joining the laboratory of Assistant Professor Guan Xue Li, I hope to gain more knowledge and skills in lipidomics, particularly on how lipids would affect bacterial infections. I am currently studying the responses of macrophages during Staphylococcus aureus bacterial infection.
