Dr Woo Fong Yeong Brigitte<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Dr Brigitte Woo is a Research Fellow at the Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies, National University of Singapore, with a clinical background in critical care and a deep commitment to advancing nursing practice through research and innovation. Her work centres on health service evaluation, nursing workforce development, and the integration of AI to enhance clinical practice. She is especially passionate about leveraging the nursing workforce to promote health equity, ensuring that all individuals have access to high-quality, person-centred care. In 2024, she was awarded the Harkness Fellowship in Health Care Policy and Practice by The Commonwealth Fund in the U.S., becoming only the second Harkness Fellow from Asia since the programme\u2019s founding in 1925.<\/p>\r\n

Dr Ang Wei How Darryl<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Dr Darryl Ang is a Senior Tutor from the Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies. A recipient of the Ministry of Education\u2019s Singapore Teaching and Academic Research Talent (START) scheme and the NUS Overseas Postdoctoral Fellowship, Dr Ang is concurrently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Global Nursing Research Centre at the University of Tokyo. His research program focuses on building a resilient healthcare workforce and developing resilient and death literate communities. At present, he is evaluating the use of informal death conversations as a strategy to enhance the uptake of advance care planning. He is inspired to develop meaningful interventions to promote the health and wellbeing of his community.<\/p>\r\n

Dr Alexandria Marie Remus<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Dr Alexandria Remus is a Senior Research Fellow at the Heat Resilience & Performance Centre (HRPC) and serves as the Head of Digital Therapeutics at the Institute of Digital Medicine (WisDM) and the N.1 Institute for Health (N.1). As a multi-disciplinary researcher, Dr Remus is passionate about leveraging insights from wearable technologies and developing novel solutions to optimise performance and push the boundaries of human potential. Driven by a lifelong commitment to learning, she finds inspiration in sharing knowledge with mentees, lab mates and the wider community, fostering an environment that encourages growth and cultivates the next generation of thinkers and leaders.<\/p>\r\n

Dr Grishma Rane<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Dr Grishma Rane is a Research Fellow at the Cancer Science Institute (CSI) of Singapore, National University of Singapore (NUS), specializing in telomere biology. Her work led to the discovery of ZBTB48 as both a telomere-binding protein and a transcriptional regulator of adaptive immunity in B cells. Currently, her research focuses on elucidating the mechanistic role of ZBTB48 in telomere-induced chromatin bridges, a process often linked to genomic instability. Deeply committed to supporting early-career scientists, Dr Rane finds it especially rewarding to see her mentees grow curious, engaged, and excited about science. She is continually inspired by their fresh perspectives and questions, making mentorship a meaningful and reciprocal part of her work.<\/p>\r\n

Dr Hang Jing Wen<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Dr Hang Jing Wen is a Research Fellow under Assistant Professor Benoit Malleret at the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, NUS. Her research focuses on malaria pathogenesis, with particular emphasis on Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. knowlesi, and P. coatneyi. She leverages in vitro erythropoiesis models to study host\u2013parasite interactions and employs non human primates malaria model to identify blood-based biomarkers for the early detection of fatal cerebral malaria. She is driven by the pursuit of scientific discovery and the potential for translational research to improve clinical outcomes in infectious diseases.<\/p>\r\n

Dr Wang Weilan<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Dr Wang Weilan is a Senior Research Fellow in Professor Andrea Maier\u2019s team at the Academy for Healthy Longevity \/ Healthy Longevity Translational Research Programme. Her primary research interest lies in the application of artificial intelligence to biomarkers of aging, particularly using clinical parameters and multi-omics data. Beyond her research, Dr Wang is a dedicated mentor, having worked with undergraduate, master\u2019s, PhD, and visiting students across diverse research projects. She also leads the Epigenetic Age Review Consortium, a global initiative that fosters collaboration among over 200 scientists and clinicians in systematically reviewing the evidence on epigenetic age. What inspires Dr Wang most is the curiosity and drive of her mentees, he believes research should be both intellectually stimulating and deeply enjoyable.<\/p>\r\n
