My name is De Wet Clasen, and I’m the founder and director of SkillBase Labs. I’m a postgraduate researcher, academic intern, and precision enthusiast with a deep-rooted commitment to turning skill into mastery. With a strong background in pharmacology and laboratory science, I’ve built hands-on expertise in method development, sample preparation, data analysis, and lab training. My passion lies in bridging the gap between structured academic learning and the precision demanded in real-world research and industry.

My passion for precision extends well beyond the lab. I’ve been a dedicated sport shooter for more than a decade, proudly representing my branch at regional level for multiple years and at national level in 2025. The same discipline, consistency, and focus that define my scientific work are the cornerstones of how I approach shooting.

Whether I’m working behind a bench or behind a barrel, I believe in measured practice, attention to detail, and never settling for “good enough.” That philosophy drives every SkillBase workshop, every analysis, and every shooting session.

Precision isn’t just what I teach — it’s how I live.
