In this JCSMR 75th Anniversary Alumni Spotlight Series, we feature Dr Chloe Lim, a scientist turned entrepreneur whose unique career spans cutting-edge biomedical research, science education, and even professional balloon artistry. From unravelling the mysteries of gene expression at JCSMR to becoming a TEDx speaker and founder of Twistyfic, Dr Lim's story is one of resilience, creativity, and passion for STEM engagement.

As the John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR) celebrates its 75th anniversary, we’re reconnecting with distinguished alumni to reflect on their experiences and the impact JCSMR has had on their careers. Today, we feature Professor Simon Hogan, the Askwith Research Professor of Food Allergy and Professor of Pathology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA.
