I will be pursuing Biomedical Informatics at the National University of Singapore because this field brings together two things I care deeply about: people and problem-solving. My interest in it became more personal when I was taking care of a family member and saw how stressful it can be to manage medical reports, discharge notes, and scattered information that do not always come together clearly. That experience made me realise that healthcare is not only about treatment: it is also about how information is organised, communicated, and used.
At the same time, my academic background has shown me how much potential there is in biomedical data. Through my studies in biomedical sciences, bioinformatics, microbiome analysis, and clinical research, I became increasingly interested in how data can support earlier diagnosis, clearer follow-up, and better decision-making. I have also seen, through research and public health work, that scientific knowledge becomes truly valuable only when it can be translated into something practical and useful for patients and clinicians.
That is why I want to train in biomedical informatics. I hope to strengthen my skills in data analysis, digital health, and healthcare innovation, while learning how to build solutions that are both technically sound and easy to use in real settings. Professionally, I want to contribute to tools and systems that make healthcare more efficient and more humane. Looking further ahead, I can also see myself pursuing a PhD in this field, especially if it allows me to explore the biological information behind neurodegenerative diseases more deeply and turn that understanding into better support for patients and families.
Personally, I hope to bring that learning back to Hong Kong and use it to support families who need clearer and kinder care pathways. For me, this is what “Learning, innovation and benefitting humankind” means learning something new, and turning it into something that genuinely helps others.
