Xian Jun Loh

Xian Jun Loh (Chinese: 罗贤俊; pinyin: Lúo Xián Jùn; born 1981) is a Singaporean polymer chemist who works in the inter-disciplinary field of biomaterials. He is an assistant professor at the National University of Singapore and Head of Soft Materials Department and a senior scientist at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research.[2][3][4] He is currently the Vice-President of the Singapore National Institute of Chemistry.[5] Dr Loh Xian Jun was recently elected a Fellow of the prestigious Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge. He is an A*STAR scholarship recipient currently working on smart biomaterials that identify and target cancer cells.[6] He is also credited with the invention of a customisable, fabric-like power source for wearable electronics.[7] He has also worked with a major Japanese company, LION Corporation, for the development of new anti-microbial compounds for detergents.[8] As a pioneer in the development of thermogels, he recently invented a material that has the capability of regenerating the vitreous in the eye.[9][10]

gollark: (I'm sure some people will be stupid and think they're entirely safe after just one...)
gollark: Especially since basically all the ones which have been tested, as far as I know, require two doses to work.
gollark: The main challenge is just actually getting enough vaccine produced and distributed to everyone.
gollark: Vaccine developers can hardly just go around faking clinical trials and getting the regulators to agree.
gollark: That seems unlikely unless you accidentally got targeted by an orbital laser strike.
