Researcher

Leonard Tan is a Research Fellow at the Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN). He completed his PhD degree at the National University of Singapore’s Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine in 2022. During his PhD studies, he focused on studying the heterogeneity of neutrophils and how they behave in cancer. He specialises in using various imaging techniques like Multiphoton live imaging and 3D optical clearing imaging, as well as working with mouse tumour models. Tan also manages the SIgN Imaging Platform, where he helps other scientists with microscopy and image analysis. One of Tan’s significant achievements has been setting up the Spatial Biology & Immune Imaging Centre of Excellence in collaboration with Miltenyi Biotec, which provides advanced imaging services that helps deepen our understanding of the spatial microenvironment of immune responses in diseases.
