PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
JAMES GOH
Prof. James Cho Hong Goh
James Goh completed his B.Sc. and Ph.D. at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK. He joined NUS in 1982 as a research fellow at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery where he eventually became a Research Associate Professor. He was part of the NUS Division of Bioengineering (now the Department of Biomedical Engineering) faculty when it was first established in 2002, and became a full Professor in 2008. He has received numerous research awards and has been the Head of the NUS Biomedical Engineering Department since 2010. He formed the Tissue Repair Lab in 2003 together with A/Prof. Toh Siew Lok and has since then been working on tissue engineering, prosthetics & orthotics, biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system, gait analysis and orthopaedic implant and design research.
RESEARCH STAFF
MONISHA
Monisha Joy Gomez, Research Assistant
Monisha joined the lab in 2019 as a Research Assistant. She completed her undergraduate studies in Food and Human Nutrition from Newcastle University. Before that, she attained a diploma in Biomedical Science from Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Her current research involves engineering endplates to enhance tissue engineering of the intervertebral disc using microfluidics. After office hours, she can be seen either buried in her Kindle, stretching out at Barre, or café-hopping with friends, to the expense of time spent with her Miniature Schnauzer.

YEEWEI
Lee Yee Wei, Lab Executive
Yeewei joined the lab in 2003 and has been managing the operations and assets inside the laboratory since then. She keeps the lab's safety and order in check, and makes everyone's life easier. She's a doting mother to her two daughters and enjoys looking for new food haunts after office hours.
POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS
ERNEST
Tan Xuan Hao Ernest
Ernest joined the lab in 2016 as a Ph.D. student. Â He finished his Mechanical Engineering undergraduate degree in the National University of Singapore and is currently under the NUSÂ PhD-MBA program. His research aim focuses on developing a method to bioprint nasal cartilage tissue for trauma patients. His research interests include utilizing bioprinting technology to print nasal cartilage tissues and to modify current bioprinting methods to print multiple tissues and their associated interface tissues. After lab hours, Ernest enjoys keeping active by playing for the university's Frisbee Team and running. Â He loves his coffee but will rather skip eating eggs.
