Azura was a senior student at Tembusu College in 2011-2012, and was part of the pilot class for the senior seminar ‘Biomedicine and Singapore Society’. Upon graduating from NUS with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in chemistry, she embarked on an internship of 11/2 years with the Division of Human Health (NAHU) at the International Atomic Energy Agency, an international organization under the United Nations that promotes the peaceful use of nuclear energy. There, Azura was part of a team that coordinated two major projects related to education, communication, and interactions between science, technology and society, in the Fukushima nuclear accident recovery efforts. Under the direct supervision of the Director of NAHU, Rethy Chhem, Azura assisted in the organization of conferences and technical meetings, and co-authored two chapters of the book Radiation Disaster Medicine – Perspective from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident, which was published in 2013. Throughout the internship, she also worked closely with Associate Professor Gregory Clancey, the Master of Tembusu College. Azura has just ended her internship and is back in Singapore for a few weeks before she will go on to pursue a Master’s in Drug Discovery and Development at University College London, UK in September.
