Dr. Chua obtained his PhD in Microbiology at The University of Western Australia in 2011 upon the completion of his research project characterising the functional roles of autotransporter proteins in the pathogenesis of Shigella flexneri. He then worked on Burkholderia pseudomallei for a year at the University of Malaya before joining Nobel Laureate Prof. Barry Marshall’s research group to study Helicobacter pylori. Apart from having an extensive range of molecular microbiology skills, Dr. Chua is also a bioinformatician with substantial experience in the handling and analysis of genomics, transcriptomics and metagenomics datasets.
