Dr Lim ZiJie's main research interest is in finding novel therapeutic approaches or strategies for treating Hepatitis B Virus infection. In his spare time, he enjoys reading random books and working out in the gym. So, he is both a lab rat and a gym rat.

Expertise: HBV biology, biomarker discovery, proximity proteomics  

As a research officer, Suat Peng supports the lab administrative duties and collaborative MS projects. She has a research interest in cancer biology. 

Expertise: Lab manager, biology/biochemistry 

Dr. JiaYee Wu is a Scientist since January 2022, holding joint positions at the Clinical Nutrition Research Centre. Her mission? Exploring the magical world where nutrition, food science, and biology intersect, aiming to unravel new insights into food effects' on metabolic health using the LC-MS/MS based proteomics.

Her previous experiences include her doctoral study at the Energy Metabolism Lab of ETH Zürich, where she worked on identifying novel aging regulators, and before that at National Tsing Hua University for her undergraduate and master study.

Whether she is in a lab or out, JiaYee loves to indulge in good food and cherish the company of friends and colleagues. Her love for gastronomy and fellowship is as strong as her passion for science!

Expertise: MS instrumentation, food science, biochemistry

Dr. Lou Xiaowei obtained her Ph.D. from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and earned her M.Eng. from Ningbo University and B.Eng. from Jiangnan University. 

Her current research focuses on food proteomics, intact protein, and post-translational modification analysis. She has also worked on food microbiology, metabolomics, and flavor. 

Expertise: Food Science

Jared Lim brings expertise in MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry-based proteomics while having experience with liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) with a background in biomedical sciences acquired from La Trobe University, specializing in proteomics. Jared has contributed to the development of MALDI-based assays,  and assisted others in their projects in general as well, demonstrating a commitment to expanding the capabilities of the lab. 

He is passionate about cancer research, and recently, about food proteomics. He continues to develop his skills and expertise to develop himself further and to contribute more to the lab. He enjoys bouldering and climbing and is an avid foodie.

Expertise: LC-MS, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry

Senuri graduated from the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka with a Bachelor with Honors in Computer Science and Engineering in January 2019 (first class). Her keen interest in the application of computer science in translational biomedical research led her to pursue a PhD. 

She started as a PhD student in January 2022 (SINGA scholar). Her current research interest is to develop a computational pipeline to integrate proteomics data employing breast cancer as the main case study. Her goal is to identify potential diagnostic biomarkers and uncover mechanisms in breast cancer. 

Expertise: Bioinformatics, Analytical tool development
