Dr Rochelle Aw '03 SEA 

UWCSEA Dover Class of 2003 alumna, Dr. Rochelle Aw, is a post-doctoral research associate at Imperial College, London, whose niche research on the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris in her field of biotechnology and synthetic biology has led to her involvement in the development of a number of vaccines to combat diseases such as HPV and COVID-19. Rochelle holds a BSc in Biology and a PhD in Biology/Biotechnology sponsored by  biotechnology company Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnology, both from Imperial College, London. 

Rochelle has also been a researcher on a Leverhulme Trust grant, investigating the link between the cell organisation and glycosylation, as well as proof-of-concept projected by BioProNET and Frontiers in Engineering pioneering a novel Pichia pastoris cell-free protein synthesis platform and investigating the ability to produce the anti-HIV antibody VRC01. In December 2017 she was named researcher on the EPSRC Future Vaccine Manufacturing Hub, where she is responsible for the generation of a novel Pichia pastoris expression platform alongside working with low to middle income country manufacturer’s to improve the production of low cost vaccines.

In a recent online mentoring event with current UWCSEA students, Rochelle described her science lessons at UWCSEA as a catalyst for her interest in science, and despite trying a number of alternative career paths, found her way back to science as a career.

Following his IB Diploma, Chris took a gap year,  becoming the youngest person to walk 1,000 miles across the Gobi Desert. He then studied at Harvard, from which he took a seven year leave of absence to scale the 24 Hour Race, as well as build companies in the Education Technology, Computer Vision and applied Artificial Intelligence space. He built Los Angeles based Surkus’ Asia offices and then joined KintoHub as COO, which was sold to Square. He is currently the Board Chair at the 24 Hour Race and a Board Member at the Royal Geographical Society.
