Insights and challenges on careers in life sciences industry

26 Aug 2020

Navigating through life’s ups and downs is never easy and this is even more so for students. The multi-faceted challenges we face run the gamut from relationships, to choosing electives or course options, coping with our modules and, for many of us, figuring out which career best suits us.

Thankfully, this semester, we had the good fortune to ‘walk in the shoes’ of seniors as they shared their respective journeys with us after leaving SP.   

Tan Ming Jie (Class of 2003), co-founder of DeNova Sciences gave us an insight into his journey in starting up and growing a biomedical science company in Singapore.
