May Sin Ke

May Sin is a postdoctoral researcher in cancer and immunogenetics at the Department of Oncology at Old Road Campus, Headington. Her postdoctoral research focuses on immunotherapy in cancer, more specifically, the use of bispecific monoclonal antibodies (biMAbs) for the treatment of colorectal cancer and other adenocarcinomas. She is interested in the bystander effect induced by biMAbs which refers to the killing of nearby biMAbs target negative cells during biMAbs treatment in solid tumours.

May Sin's research interest lies in the development of biological assays to better understand and model the biology of cancer to identify potential targets for therapy. During her doctoral studies, she worked on understanding tumour heterogeneity in triple negative breast cancer in hypoxia using single cell sequencing technologies. She obtained her Bachelor of Science degree from University of Tsukuba, Japan where she worked on developing 3D spheroid culture model of primary dermal papilla cell lines.
