Dr. Shijie Tao
Research Fellow
|
|
|
I got my PhD in Karuna Sampath lab in Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory.
I worked in Stefan Schulte-Merker lab in Hubrecht Institue in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
I came back to Singapore in 2012, I'm currently working with ALS in zebrafish. |
Dr. Quang Tien Phan
Research Fellow |
|
|
I finished my PhD in the lab of Dr. Georges LUTFALLA at the University of Montpellier in 2016.
For the project I investigated the host-pathogen interactions, specifically in the notochord of zebrafish larvae.
I join Dr. Winkler's team to study bone development using Medaka and Zebrafish as models. |
Dr. Serene Gwee
Research Fellow |
|
|
I have recently graduated with my PhD at the Centre of Motor Neuron Disease in Macquarie University, Sydney Australia (2018).
My current project would focus on understanding axonal transport and its relationship with axonal regeneration, using zebrafish as our animal model. |
Shermaine Tay
Graduate Student
|
|
|
I graduated with an Honour's degree from NUS in the year 2014.
My project interest is on the non-cell autonomous effects in a zebrafish model for Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
I’m particularly interested in a glial cell type known as Schwann cells that work functionally and structurally in close association with motor neurons in innervating muscle cells.

Tan Wen Hui
Graduate Student
|
|
|
I graduated with an Honour's degree from NUS in the year 2015.
My project focuses mainly on lineage tracing analysis of osteoblasts during fin regeneration using a Medaka model.

Menachem Viktor Sarusie
Graduate Student
| |
|
I graduated from Copenhagen University with a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Molecular Biomedicine.
I have been associated with this lab since June 2014, initially through my work as a Research Assistant and presently as an enrolled graduate student at National University of Singapore.
My interest lies in the motor circuit organization and function during normal and disease conditions.

|
BSc. (Hons) Biotechnology at the University of Manchester, UK.
MSc. Biosciences at Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan.
My PhD project is focused on characterization of osteogenic factors using medaka fish osteoporotic model. |
Vindhya Chaganty
Graduate Student |
|
|
I graduated in 2016 with a Master's degree in Biotechnology from V.I.T University.
My current project focuses on characterisation of candidate genes seen to play a role in neurodegeneration.
Using zebrafish as a disease model I hope to delineate the role of each of these genes in the disease pathology of Spinal Muscular Atrophy. |
Ranran Liu
Graduate Student |
|
|
I graduated from Jilin University with a Bachelor's degree in Horticultural Gardening in 2017.
My PhD research project involves characterization of genes that might play role in the medaka bone osteoporosis model. |
Le Yao
Graduate Student |
|
|
I graduated from Sun Yat-sen University with a Bachelor's degree in Marine Sciences in 2017.
My project is to study the role of midkine in tissue patterning using zebrafish as a model. |
Yun Jing Goh
Research Assistant |
|
|
BSc.(Hons) in Life Science and Minor in Forensic Science in NUS.
My project is to create a transgenic zebrafish line using CRISPR/Cas9 system to knock-in an optogenetic cassette in a locus relevant for interneuron differentiation and to characterise an internueon line that express eGFP/gCAMP.

Erna Nur Ellieyana Mohamed Noor
Research Assistant |
|
|
Hi my name is Ellie and I majored in Life Sciences in NUS.
I'm working with Shermaine, who is one of the PhD students in the lab. This project revolves around the Spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) disease which arises due to a loss of SMN1 proteins.
My project proposes to replace the current zebrafish morphant model for the SMA with a zfsmn2 mutant model. Hence, this project aims to create a suitable zebrafish model, which would provide more understanding of the disease.

I am an undergraduate pursuing a Major in Life Sciences with specialisation in Biomedical Sciences (with Honours). I am on the Dean's List in Year 2 Semester 2.
I have prior research experience, having been involved in a research project on synthetic enzymology and anti-ageing therapeutics, as part of an Advanced Undergraduate Research Opportunities in Science (UROPS) module.
My Final Year Project focuses on understanding the functions of 3 genes in osteoporosis patients using an osteoporotic medaka fish model.

I am studying a Master in Molecular Biomedicine at University of Copenhagen, Denmark, where I am currently working in the lab of Molecular Pharmacology.
I am visiting the Winkler group to explore the Medaka fish model to test potential future drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis.
