He was a lead author and project driver for epigenomics studies published in Circulation Research and Circulation. After a post-doc at Standford he moved to industry with Natera
Benson Lim
Senior Science and Technology Advisor 10x Genomics
Benson worked on epigenomics and NGS based molecular projects and published studies highlighting the functions and therapeutic potential of circular RNAs in the heart, winning several awards for his work in the process.
​
Now Benson is charting a career path in industry putting his technological expertise to push science currently at 10x Genomics.
Lim Choon Kiat
Group Leader | Cell line & media development | Cellular Agriculture | Cultivated Seafood |
CK completed his PhD in Foo Lab working on enhancing transdifferentiation of cardiac fibroblast to cardiomyocytes. His paper in the JMCC was selected as Editor's choice.
​
Now CK is Group Leader at Umami Bioworks (formerly Umami Meats), part of Singapore's exciting landscape of biotech startups and cellular agriculture ventures.
