A specialist in infectious diseases and skin biology, Dr. Subramanian received the prestigious President’s Graduate Fellowship for his doctoral research. Currently, he is serving his service obligation bond at the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR). His work is focused on pioneering micro-RNA based therapeutics aimed at improving wound healing and addressing a range of epithelial disorders, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and epithelial cancers. Through his innovative research, he is contributing to the development of next-generation treatments in skin health and disease management. His doctoral and postdoctoral research have laid the foundation for his Young Individual Research Grant (YIRG) goals, which focus on miRNA-based therapeutics. His doctoral thesis led to the groundbreaking discovery of small molecules capable of targeting and eliminating malaria parasites at various stages of their life cycle—a crucial advancement, given the absence of malaria vaccines. For his doctoral work, he received several awards, including: 1. Merit Award under the IES Innovation Challenge for the Community Category, Institute of Engineers, Singapore (May 2019). 2. Excellent Oral Presentation Merit Award, Biomedical Engineering Society 13th Scientific Meeting, Singapore Institute of Technology (May 2019). 3. Best Poster Award, Mechanobiology International Graduate Students Congress (MBIGSC 2018), Mechanobiology Institute, National University of Singapore (Nov 2018)
