Sai Kiang Lim's Biography

Sai Kiang Lim, Research Director, Institute of Medical Biology, A*STAR

Dr Sai-Kiang Lim graduated with B.Sc (Hons), NUS. PhD SUNY at Buffalo and did post-doctoral training Columbia University. She led independent research groups at NUMI, NUS (1996-2001), Genome Institute of Singapore (2002-2007) and then Institute of Medical Biology (2007-present). The current research interest in her lab is the study of extracellular vesicles (EVs) for the development of therapeutics and diagnostics as well as artificial lipid membrane vesicles.

Aging is believed to be, in part, a result of the decline in functional adult stem cells that are crucial for maintaining tissue homeostasis. We had previously postulated that MSC EVs could help preserve the balance of cell numbers by activating survival signaling pathways. Indeed, our research showed that EVs derived from MSCs effectively reduced senescence both in cell cultures and in live organisms, leading to an improvement in the natural lifespan of aging mice.
