Navigating Health and Biosecurity Law & Policy in Asia and Globally

She is also on the faculty of the Centre for Infectious Disease Emergencies (CIDER) of the NUS School of Medicine.

Biosecurity is fundamentally about preventing harm, and the law plays a critical role in establishing the norms, standards, and enforcement mechanisms that make this possible.
Publications
My written work spans global health, biosecurity, global governance, international investment law, and more.
The law is central to global health security because it creates the obligations and structures necessary for collective action. Without legal commitments, global health security is fragmented and ineffective.
Research
My research is focused on the fields of law, policy, and governance in global health and biosecurity.
