✨Two International Awards, One Incredible Journey ✨
I am deeply honoured and truly humbled to share that I recently received two international awards:
• Y.S.P.SAH Excellent Scientific Paper Award awarded by the TienTe Lee Biomedical Foundation (USD3,000 and a trophy)
• 4th Place at the 6th Solarbio Pathology Cup https://www.linkedin.com/posts/solarbio-science-technology_solarbio-pathologycup-contest-activity-7404414222262235136-fXCj
These recognitions mean more than personal achievement. They reflect perseverance, late nights, setbacks, breakthroughs — and the unwavering passion that fuel my journey in science.
I am sincerely grateful to the committees for believing in my work, and to every mentor, colleague, and friend who has guided and inspired me along the way.
Each step in research reminds me why I chose this path: to contribute knowledge, push boundaries, and bring hope for a brighter, healthier future.
These honours motivate me to keep striving, questioning, and uncovering the unknown.
Here’s to progress, passion, and making a difference for mankind 🌍✨
