Background
Arthur completed his undergraduate degree in 2007. He then joined the ACMM to undertake the Master Applied Science (Microscopy and Microanalysis) degree. During his master research year, he worked on project titled "Actin mechanisms in the formation of novel curved protrusions in invading cancer cells".
Research Project
Arthur is currently working with Dr Lilian Soon and co-supervisor A/Prof. Filip Braet on "In-vivo characterisation of cell migration with focus on novel protrusive structure". His project will verify toehold migration in-vivo and deduce the mechanisms of protrusions extension and retraction during cell migration.
