Opportunities
We are recruiting postdocs, PhD students (fully funded for 4 years, with monthly stipend, tuition fees and conference funding), Research Assistants (Bachelor level), and Research Associates (Master level). Also, we welcome all people who want to work with us (e.g., undergraduate students who are looking for research opportunities, healthcare workers or people in industry who are looking for collaborative opportunities). Please do not hesitant to contact us!
For postdocs, PhD students, and Research Assistants/Associates:​
-
Place of Work:
Our lab is located at Clinical Sciences Building, Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University (Novena Campus).​
​
-
Research Interest:
Our research interest is on quantitatively understanding biological mechanisms of infection and its impact on both individual and population health. Particularly, we have been working to understand the biological response to infection and vaccination at individual level and how it impacts on population level epidemiological dynamics. Using mathematical modelling and computer simulation as core approaches, we will connect basic biological mechanism of infection and infectious disease epidemiology and clinical studies, which would accelerate vaccine, drugs, and treatment development and provide a more comprehensive picture of the mechanisms behind the dynamics of infectious diseases (see “Projects” page for detail).​
