Biotechnology Alumnus Achieving the MOHH Merit Award Through Grit and Growth

From overcoming dyslexia to earning the MOH Holdings Healthcare Merit Award, Ethan Wong, an alumnus from the Diploma in Biotechnology (now a specialisation under the Diploma in Biomedical Science), has come a long way!

Despite entering SP with no biology background, Ethan’s passion for early disease prevention - paired with SP’s biology prep courses and the unwavering support of his lecturers - helped him thrive. His resilience continues to drive him as he pursues a Bachelor’s in Diagnostic Radiography at the Singapore Institute of Technology.

What’s next after his bond at the National Cancer Centre Singapore? Ethan hopes to further his journey at Duke-NUS Medical School or dive into research to advance early disease prevention.
