Weiqiang Chen

Fully funded PhD positions are open in the Viral Immunopathogenesis Lab (JChen Lab) at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University Singapore . The project sits at the intersection of virology , immunology , medical science , neuroscience , and multi-omics , with research themes including viral-induced neurodevelopmental disorders and brain calcification, viral-induced bone loss and arthritis, and host-virus interactions with immune dysregulation. The post emphasizes a collaborative, high-impact research environment and advanced training in virology and immunology. It is especially relevant for candidates interested in mechanism-driven biomedical research, host-pathogen biology, and disease pathways affecting the brain and musculoskeletal system. Eligible backgrounds mentioned in the post include biomedical engineering , chemical engineering , other engineering disciplines, materials science , chemistry , and cellular and molecular biology . The lab also looks for applicants with a strong molecular/cellular biology foundation, curiosity, rigor, and an independent mindset. This is a fully funded PhD opportunity; no stipend amount or deadline is stated in the post. To apply, interested candidates should email Prof Weiqiang Chen with a CV and a brief statement of research interests.
