He is a leading researcher in the new Skin Research Institute of Singapore and is committed to finding insights and treatments that benefit patients in Singapore and the rest of the world.
Through his research, Professor van Steensel and his team have facilitated clinical interventions and designed biologically meaningful assays for compound screening in pharma and personal care sectors..
