Summary
Chia Shan is a Postgraduate researcher and translational scientist with 9 years of experience focused on genome editing and cardiovascular biology, currently pursuing a PhD at the National University of Singapore. She has first-author publications on RNA therapeutics for cardiovascular disease and 3D human organoids for infectious disease, and led studies on nanoplastics-induced arrhythmia in stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes. Her lab skillset spans molecular cloning, guide RNA design, saturation mutagenesis, NGS library prep and analysis, cardiac organoid culture, and functional cardiomyocyte assays—bridging wet-lab technique with genomics and sequencing workflows. Based in Beijing and Singapore, she combines rigorous bench expertise with an eye for translational impact, and—less obvious—has contributed to bioinformatics-enabled screening assays that accelerate variant-to-phenotype discovery.
