Happy Birthday, Singapore! Despite all odds, we’ll continue to strive, and overcome together as one!

It was my great honour to be invited to the 10th Thailand Society for Stem Cell Research meeting to give a Keynote update on the Trends of Stem Cell-based Models for Diabetes. Met old friends and made many new ones! #atlab #stemcells #diabetes #research #imcb #astar #nus

Summing up my time at Isscr 2026. Really happy to have met lots of former colleagues and friends. Here, Anne, mentor and friend, Paul from CHOP and Isscr Early Career Award winner Kyle from Stanford. #atlab #stemcells #diabetes #research #imcb #astar #nus

AT Lab +1 at ISSCR 2026. Team dinner to cap off a wonderful trip and time. Learnings and reflections. The last time we were able to do so was pre Covid. Looking forward to the next one! #atlab #stemcells #organoids #diabetes #research #imcb #astar #nus

Asian Alliance for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine (AASCRM) hub meeting and social get together. Making it happen at Isscr 2026. A strong partnership ahead for stem cells, organoids and cell therapy in Asia! #aascrm #scss #csscr #jsrm #ksscr #stemcells #organoids #celltherapy

Meeting friends and colleagues at Isscr 2026. Andy and Ryan from Stem Cell Technologies, Sasha, a tenured faculty at IMBA, Max, a new faculty at reNEW, and Tomoko from Celvivo. #isscr #stemcells #organoids #research

AT Lab at ISSCR 2026 in Montreal 🇨🇦! A rare opportunity to have numerous lab members at the same conference far away from Singapore 🇸🇬 ! #atlab #stemcells #diabetes #research #imcb #astar #nus

Had a great time hosting our CET BET Division Group Leaders for a team bonding, to strengthen our community, to chart greater heights for cell therapy, gene therapy, organoid, NAMs, for Astar and Singapore! #cgt #organoids #research #imcb #astar

Wishing Claire Neo and Kally Tan all the best for the next phase of their careers! #atlab #stemcells #diabetes #research #imcb #astar #nus

AT Lab Sports Day 2026! #atlab #stemcells #diabetes #research #imcb #astar #nus

Thanks to all PhD students from AT Lab for their generous letters of support. We have had many PhD students come through a difficult journey. NUS standards are high, where we get them rigorously trained. Where we have not done well enough, we will try to do better! #atlab #stemcells #diabetes #nus

At IMCB, besides pursuing research excellence in Cellular and Biomolecular Engineering, we are also charting our path toward therapeutics. Delighted to welcome HSA colleagues to continue our conversations in this collective journey. #cgt #genetherapy #celltherapy #organoids #nams #imcb #astar #nus

Absolutely wonderful to host Profs Decio and Miriam, world experts on beta cells and diabetes, for lab sharing and deep scientific discussions! #atlab #stemcells #diabetes #research #imcb#astar#nus

Thank you Jeremy Ng for the kind invite to speak at this Regional Conference on Precision Health in KL! Great to catch up with many from Singapore and friends from Malaysia! #atlab #stemcells #diabetes #precisionmedicine #research #imcb #astar #nus
