Charmaine delivered an insightful presentation titled ‘Unraveling Virus-Phytoplankton Interactions Using Integrated Cultivation and Multi-omics Approaches’ at the School of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore. The invitation came from Prof. Steve Pointing, Charmaine’s former MPhil advisor from her time at the University of Hong Kong (HKU).
The visit provided a valuable opportunity to reconnect with Steve and meet his talented team members, Christaline and Thirumaran. Charmaine appreciated the chance to engage with these bright minds and explore their current research endeavors. Beyond the presentation, the visit facilitated discussions on potential collaborations with NUS scientists, opening doors for future joint research projects.
The day concluded with a delightful dinner hosted by Prof. Pointing. Charmaine expressed her gratitude for both the invitation and the delicious meal, which provided a fitting end to a productive and inspiring visit.
