Biography
National University of Singapore
Dr Swaine Chen is a Senior Research Scientist in Infectious Diseases at the Genome Institute of Singapore and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the National University of Singapore. His work combines his training in medicine, biology, chemistry, and mathematics to understand how and why bacteria are able to cause infections in humans. This understanding, in turn, may enable us to detect and treat infectious diseases more effectively and more quickly in the future. Another major aspect of his work is using DNA sequencing to detect and understand outbreaks of infectious diseases, especially those that are unexpected, like the Group B Streptococcus outbreak associated with yu sheng fish in 2015 in Singapore. He completed his M.D./Ph.D. at Stanford University in Developmental Biology, followed by a postdoc at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. He has published 48 peer reviewed manuscripts.
