Research attachment in Singapore

National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) has built a sound reputation in Asia with the high standards of its research and medical services.  During her attachment there, Wendy Yeung, a Higher Diploma in Biotechnology student, provided assistance for a research project focusing on the impact of liver cancer drugs on tumour growth.  “Immunotherapy points to a major direction in cancer research currently.  At NCCS, I learned advanced techniques like Western Blot and had opportunities to interact with colleagues of different nationalities and cultural background. Besides strengthening my research and communication skills, the experience taught me to experiment boldly with a meticulous mindset and bolstered my self-confidence indirectly.  I hope to take up a career in cancer research after graduating from university.”
