He received his bachelor\u2019s degrees in mechanical engineering and economics from University of California Berkeley, his master\u2019s degrees in aeronautics and biomedical engineering from California Institute of Technology and NTU respectively, and his PhD in developmental biology from Stanford University. After postdoctoral training in Stanford, he returned to Singapore to set up his independent laboratory, focusing on the basic biology and translational applications of DNA and RNA editing. To date, he has published corresponding authored papers in top academic journals, including Nature, Nature Methods, Nature Chemical Biology, and Nature Communications. He received the Outstanding Young Principal Investigator Award from AIChE-SLS in 2019 and was named an EMBO Global Investigator in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6812,"template":"","event_type":[19],"event_mode":[22],"class_list":["post-6806","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_type-seminars","event_mode-on-site"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Our journey in the CRISPR world from 2013 - Infectious Diseases Translational Research Programme<\/title>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Our journey in the CRISPR world from 2013 - Infectious Diseases Translational Research Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"?\u00a0#IDTRPseminar Abstract: The emergence of CRISPR technologies has ushered in a new era in cell engineering.
