Gloryn CHIA

Asst Prof Gloryn CHIA is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the National University of Singapore (NUS), affiliated with the Faculty of Science. She holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge, UK, and completed postdoctoral research at Columbia University, USA. Her research focuses on developing novel cancer vaccines and stem cell therapies, particularly leveraging neoantigen identification and engineered stem cells for personalized medicine.

Research interests include cancer immunotherapy, neoantigen vaccine design, and stem cell-based approaches to address challenges in vaccine efficacy and delivery. Her lab explores scalable methods for producing artificial antigen-presenting cells using induced pluripotent stem cells to enhance tumor-specific immune responses. The work aims to translate discoveries into clinical applications for personalized cancer treatment.

Notable projects involve investigating intronic polyadenylation as a neoantigen source, optimizing non-viral genetic engineering of immune cells, and understanding embryonic development mechanisms related to pluripotency and lineage specification.

While no specific awards are listed, her contributions span high-impact areas such as stem cell reprogramming and cancer immunology. Her research bridges genomic technologies with clinical translation, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration in biomedicine.
