Selwin graduated with First-Class Honours and a PhD with Dean's Award from the University of Queensland, Australia. During his post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical School, HHMI, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, he received a Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Fellow Award. He then returned to Singapore and was awarded a Young Individual Research Grant by the National Medical Research Council.

He investigates how processes observed in tumors and development, including cell invasion and extrusion, emerge from changes in gene regulation, cellular interactions, signalling, mechanics, and architecture. His research applies gene expression analysis, micropatterning, molecular biology techniques, and a variety of photonic methods to study two and three-dimensional cell cultures.
