I'm a PhD student currently studying aging with repurposed drugs. My model organism of interest is C. elegans.   I am deep-diving into topics of proteostasis, aging and drug repurposing.  Connect with me to explore more of these topics. 

Dr. Fun Man Fung is a trained Analytical Chemist. He earned his postgraduate degrees from NUS and Technische Universität München (TUM). As a passionate educator and aspiring change-maker, he has contributed articles for CNA Channel News Asia, The Straits Times, The Conversation, and the World Economic Forum. His research centers on STEAM Education, EdTech, Science of Learning, and 21st Century Skills. He co-edited two books on Chemistry Education: [1] 10 Things You Must Know About the International Chemistry Olympiad (World Scientific) and [2] Technology-Enabled Blended Learning Experiences for Chemistry Education and Outreach (Elsevier). In 2022, Fun Man was elected council member of the Singapore National Institute of Chemistry (SNIC), and he served on the IUPAC Committee on Chemistry Education since 2020. Since 2021, Fun Man served as a member of the Editorial Advisory Board at the Journal of Chemical Education, ACS Publications, and FEBS Open Bio, the premium Open-Access journal at the Federation of the European Biochemical Societies. He is the founding chair of the ACS International Chemical Sciences Chapter Singapore.

I am working in cerebrovascular pathophysiology and vascular and cardiac pathology, focusing on the relationship between endothelial cells and metabolic factors.

I am a molecular biophysicist applying single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy and advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques as well as tailoring new techniques and integrating with other experimental and theoretical techniques to study biomolecular interactions, structure, and dynamics in solution and the cell. I have been implementing my knowledge and experience in performing experiments to answer questions regarding various biomolecular systems, such as Adenylate Kinase, the bacterial transcription initiation complex, p53, the amyloid-beta peptide, alpha-synuclein, and more. Since I opened my lab in 2018, I have been interested in the molecular etiology of a group of diseases called Synucleinopathies (e.g., Parkinson's disease). My interests include, but are not limited to (i) the structure-dynamics-function relationship in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs); (ii) phase-separated bio-condensates in health and disease; (iii) sensitive detection of bio-nanoparticles, such as viruses, exosomes, and IDP-based oligomers/aggregates.
