Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYuki Chan is a PhD-level scientist with over a decade of hands-on experience in microbial genomics, high-throughput sequencing, and molecular biology, now based in Cheltenham, UK. She has led and implemented sequencing workflows (including Oxford Nanopore MinION), established lab SOPs, and built computational analysis environments for microbial and oral microbiome research. Yuki has a strong track record in securing research funding, publishing peer-reviewed work, and supervising postgraduate students across international, multidisciplinary teams. Her recent move to the UK has been paired with practical steps to integrate locally—volunteering in healthcare, completing a Level 2 Food and Hygiene Certificate, and learning UK research and NHS standards. Currently contributing to rapid diagnostics at GenomeKey to combat antimicrobial resistance, she blends academic rigor with translational ambition to shorten time-to-treatment for life-threatening infections. Colleagues describe her as analytically rigorous, adaptable across clinical and environmental contexts, and unusually effective at turning complex sequencing pipelines into accessible training for diverse learners.
