Trained as a dentist and prosthodontist, she subsequently obtained her PhD in Medical Science at Faculty of Dentistry from Radboud University Nijmegen. She is the first dentist in Singapore who obtained the Clinician-Scientist Award from the National Medical Research Council (NMRC). As director and theme lead of MedTech research for Oral Health Academic Clinical Programme, much of her research work is focused on innovative workflows for digital dentistry, including digital processing, 3D printing of dental appliances, novel biomaterials and regenerative dentistry.

Her career goal is to become a leading clinician-scientist to advance oral health science and improve dental care through research and innovation. As principal investigator, she is developing her clinical research niche in optimizing prosthodontic treatment outcomes through novel digital dentistry and 3D printing methodologies. With this niche she led the multi-disciplinary research team that developed the software application SMART RPD and demonstrated feasibility in use of metal printing technology for RPD framework in a clinical trial. She also maintains a basic research niche in cutting-edge tissue engineering strategies for restoration of oral tissues. With this niche she has established validated clinically relevant periodontitis animal models and validated multiple bioactive agents for dental tissue regeneration. Pursuing both basic science and applied clinical research have been uniquely advantageous: her prior work in basic science unlocks fundamental limitations associated with digital imaging of oral cavity tissues, and her clinical studies incorporates the patient perspective in prioritization of scientific hypotheses, with a view towards adoption.
