Upon returning from pursuing his PhD at the University of Surrey, Dr Manraj Singh Cheema continued working in the field of biomedical sciences, looking at the toxicity of natural products through genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics approaches. Recently, the Vice-chair of the Young Scientists Network-ASM has embarked on the journey to redesign medical and health sciences education through global learning, gamification, and physical/virtual game-based approaches. These approaches encourage students to feel ownership over their learning and be able to create their own knowledge, translate and share it with the communities.
