Researcher

Jin Rong Ow is a Scientist at the A*STAR Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (A*STAR IMCB). He obtained his PhD degree from the National University of Singapore. Before joining A*STAR IMCB, he conducted post-doctoral work at the University of Freiburg Medical Centre in Germany, studying the impact of metabolic changes on novel histone acylations and bromodomain reader proteins in tumorigenesis and metabolic disease.

Ow subsequently pivoted to the field of RNA therapeutics, where he has led research bridging fundamental molecular biology with therapeutic applications, focusing on developing antisense oligonucleotide treatments for rare diseases. His translational work is supported by numerous honours, including the A*STAR Career Development Fund and the Young Individual Research Grant provided by the National Medical Research Council.
