What is your current research focus?

I am affiliated to Kai Lab BioID Group which researches using biotinylated protein for analysis of novel candidate gene involved in Piwi interacting RNA biogenesis while finding answers to their mechanistic and biological relevance in the genome of Drosophila melanogaster.

When do you find your research most exciting?

The thought that a failed experiment can give insights to new findings and unraveling surprises.

Share the positive aspects and attractions of FBS.

The biggest strength is the variety of research carried out yet channeled toward biosciences.

Any standout memories from FBS events?
