GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Sydnie Lee Ting Ying

FYP student (2024)

Sydnie is a final-year undergraduate student at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Her current research project aims to conduct structural and functional studies on Flippase, a protein that modulates the odorant receptors in Drosophila melanogaster.

Yee Tat 

FYP student (2024)

Yee Tat received his Bachelor’s of Science in Biological Sciences degree from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. His Final Year Project was to optimise the expression, reconstitution in lipidic nanodisc and purification of Olfactory receptor (Orco) proteins in Drosophila melanogaster.

Tan Jia Wei

FYP student (2023)

Jia Wei is a final-year undergraduate student at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. His current research topic is to optimise the expression and purification of the Odorant receptor co-receptor (Orco) from Drosophila. Orco plays an integral part in the functional odorant receptor, involved in the dendritic localisation of olfactory receptors.

Ketul Saharan, M.Sc.

EMBO SEG Fellow (Sept. 2022-December 2022)

Ketul Saharan has done his masters in botany from Kurukshetra university Kurukshetra, India. He is pursuing Ph.D. under the guidance of Dr. Dileep Vasudevan at Institute of life sciences, Bhubaneswar India. His research interest lies in understanding the structural and functional aspects of chromatin associated proteins. Ketul joined us as an EMBO Scientific exchange grant fellow in September 2022 to perform the cryo-EM structural studies on nucleoplasmin - histone oligomer complexes.

Shavonne Chan Yingmin

FYP student (2021)

Shavonne is a final year undergraduate student at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Her current research topic is to investigate the molecular properties of membrane scaffolding proteins (MSPs) which are essential to reconstitute membrane proteins in lipidic nanodisc.
