Joshua Yong is a medical student at the University of Melbourne. He holds a Bachelor of Science from the same university, for which he received the University Medal in Virology and topped his cohort in Microbiology. Previously, he was a Metcalf Scholar at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research, where he conducted research on the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. More recently he has worked on a rapid diagnostic test for malaria in Southeast Asia. Joshua will take a year’s intermission from his medical studies. With his Ramsay Postgraduate Scholarship, he will complete a MPhil in Biological Science (Pathology) at Cambridge, where he will be investigating the biology of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Joshua is committed to facilitating fruitful exchange at the interface of faith and medicine. In the future, Joshua hopes to become an Infectious Diseases physician with an active research career, focussing on tropical diseases that affect resource-poor settings in Australia and abroad.
