BIO

I am a Senior Consultant in Radiation Oncology at the National University Cancer Institute, Singapore (NCIS), NUHS, and an Assistant Professor at Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, NUS, specialising in pediatric, breast, and gynecologic cancers.

 

My research focuses on brachytherapy, radiation-induced toxicities, and innovative radiotherapy approaches. I have led and contributed to quality improvement projects in radiation therapy planning. My work in oncology research aims to refine treatment strategies that enhance both efficacy and patient quality of life.

 

I am also passionate about patient advocacy and cancer awareness, working on initiatives that improve patient education and empower individuals with the knowledge to make informed treatment decisions. With a commitment to mentorship, clinical excellence, and research-driven care, I strive to advance the field of radiation oncology and enhance cancer treatment outcomes for patients.
