Dr Low Huiyu Manager	Huiyu has been with SCOUT since October 2023. Previously, she was as an early member of a local biotechnology startup, where she played instrumental roles in the development and commercialisation of a novel molecular diagnostic platform based on the digital PCR technology. Over her 9 years with the company, Huiyu undertook key responsibilities in cross-functional projects, including the implementation of ISO 13485 and attainment of regulatory approvals. Before transitioning to the private sector, Huiyu was a Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore (NUS), with interest in the development of novel molecular assays for sepsis detection. Huiyu holds both a Ph.D. and a B.Sc. (Hons) from the National University of Singapore.
Ms Kok Soke Wai Senior Executive	While Soke Wai lately joined SCOUT in October 2023, she is a veteran in healthcare and medical education fields, having previously worked for Duke-NUS Medical School and Singapore Eye Research Institute since 2009. Prior, during the Neolithic period, she had been with the National Library Board. At SCOUT, she provides the Director and team with timely and efficient administrative, finance and operational support in diverse areas. Her forte lies in managing the minutiae details while her approach to work is just do one’s best and to have good grammar, correct spelling and punctuation in her writing due to her Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature from SIM University. In her downtime, she reads books derived from the fantastical and speculative gothic genres. She is also a film buff and has an adequate store of non-essential pop culture knowledge.
