Sam received her BS in biomedical science at Imperial College London, studying infectious diseases. She then worked as a technician for a year in Bruno Reversade's laboratory before ending up at HMS. Her current work examines the enzymology of prolyl hydroxylase 3 and its role in lipid metabolism. Her studies are supported by the National Science Scholarship (PhD) from the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) from Singapore.

Life slapped her in the face when: She wanted to become a pilot but was denied because of her height. Getting a PhD was her back-up plan.
