My research focuses on improving the lives of breast cancer survivors and advancing breast cancer prevention strategies. My research involves understanding genetic and non-genetic risk factors for breast cancer, evaluating feasibility of risk-based screening, and studying patient-reported outcomes to enhance survivors’ quality of life. I collaborate closely with the Singapore Breast Cancer Cohort (SGBCC) and the BREAst cancer screening Tailored for HEr (BREATHE) study to investigate breast cancer risk factors and screening practices in Singapore.
