Xianne Penny was part of the initial A*STAR NSS-PhD cohort when the programme began. She graduated summa cum laude in immunology from Brown University and completed doctoral work in immunology under the guidance of Ed Engleman at Stanford University’s School of Medicine. Upon return to Singapore, she performed 5 ½ years of postdoctoral work at the Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN), first under the supervision of Jean-Pierre Abastado and then completing her scholarship commitment under Siew Cheng Wong. She has since made the leap to industry, providing immunogenicity monitoring support to Amgen’s immuno-oncology assets from its headquarters in Thousand Oaks, California.
