Shirley Yee Shyen OOI

When I was little, I wanted to be a scientist like those who gave interviews on Science Discovery.

Today, I am working on developing a new method of synthesizing and screening for bioactive glycan compounds which can be later used in immunotherapies to fight bacteria and diseases.

Through my work, I would like to help simplify the process of developing new drug candidates. I would also like to inspire young girls and women to be a part of STEM fields.
