"I believe strongly that some questions can only be answered through research and experimentation - and these answers will eventually benefit patients.  That is why it is so important for us in research to give it our best all the time even though we may not see any immediate benefits on patients.  

My role is to assist Principal Investigators in completing their projects on time with utmost accuracy.  The nature of the data we handle leaves us with no room for error and we must be both careful and meticulous in our work.  At times, there are so many projects for us to handle within a limited time and it can get rather stressful but with proper prioritisation, we can meet the different deadlines."
