SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT

Shuo-Chien Ling, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, Department of Physiology
NUS, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, Laboratory for Molecular Neurodegeneration

My research investigates both fundamental and translational aspects of neuroscience combining multiple techniques and disciplines focusing on two major areas: mechanisms underlying molecular basis for synaptic plasticity and adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, we elucidate gene-function relationships using disease-causing genes, including fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), TDP-43 (TAR-DNA binding protein-43 KDa), FUS/TLS (fused in sarcoma/translocated in liposarcoma), and C9ORF72 (chromosome 9 open reading frame 72).

During my undergraduate study in Chemical Engineering, I became fascinated in biology, particularly, neuroscience. After obtaining BSc and MSc at the National Tsing-Hua University (NTHU), Taiwan, I went on to complete my Ph.D. (2005) 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 (UCSD) with Professor Don W. Cleveland. At October 2013, I started my group at the National University of Singapore (NUS), and promoted to Associate Professor at 2022.

SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT

Dr. Saumya Shekhar Jamuar, MBBS, MRCPCH (UK), FAMS, FACMG
Senior Consultant, Genetics service, Dept of Paediatrics; Deputy Director (Clinical)
KK Women's and Children's Hospital; SingHealth Duke-NUS Institute of Precision Medicine

Dr Saumya Jamuar is a Clinical Geneticist at KKH, serves as the Lead PI of the Singapore Childhood Undiagnosed Disease/ BRIDGES Programme and is the Clinical Director of the SingHealth Duke-NUS Institute of Precision Medicine. He was the Inaugural head of the SingHealth Duke-NUS Genomic Medicine Centre. He is the co-founder of Global Gene Corporation Pte Ltd.

He completed his Genetics Fellowship at Harvard Medical School. He is actively involved in research, has presented at both local and international meetings and has published in top tier journals including The New England Journal of Medicine and Nature Genetics. His research areas include rare genetic disorders, dysmorphology, skeletal dysplasia, and neurodevelopmental genetics. He was awarded the Young Investigator Award at the 2013 American Epilepsy Society meeting and is the recipient of the 2015 Singhealth Outstanding Young Researcher Award, Singhealth Outstanding Publish Award, and 2021 National Medical Research Council Clinician Scientist Award.
