After obtained a BS and MSc at the National Tsing-Hua University (Taiwan), I completed my Ph.D. at the Neuroscience program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (USA) under Professors William Greenough and Vladimir Gelfand. After a short postdoc at Northwestern University, I moved to University of California, San Diego (USA) to work with Professor Don Cleveland. In 2013, I joined the Department of Physiology as an Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore, where I was promoted to tenured Associate Professor in January 2022. My laboratory focuses on the mechanisms underlying age-related neurodegenerative diseases, in particular, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
