Printable version Course Faculty Julian Lee, Omniarray Research Group Cellular and Molecular Research National Cancer Center, Singapore Julian Lee graduated from the Department of Computational Science NUS in 2006. His Undergraduate Research Project thesis was on the classification of CNS drugs using Support-Vector Machines. In his honours year, he investigated the cross-talk between EGF and NGF by modeling these signal transduction pathways with Ordinary Differential Equations. He now works at the National Cancer Centre Singapore; in the Genomic Oncology lab where he specializes in the analysis of microarray data.
