    • Investigating the role of Epstein Barr virus in lymphogenesis of EBV-associated T/NK lymphoproliferative disease

BIOGRAPHY

A/Prof Ng Siok Bian obtained her medical degrees from the National University of Singapore and obtained the Fellowship of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia. She subsequently completed her specialty training in haematolymphoid pathology as a visiting fellow at National Cancer Institute / National Institute of Health, Bethesda, USA, under the supervision of Dr ES Jaffe. A/Prof Ng joined the department of Pathology, NUS in 2007. She is currently the research director of the department of Pathology in National University Health System (NUHS).

A/Prof Ng’s diagnostic expertise is in haematolymphoid pathology and molecular pathology. Her research focus is on lymphomas, in particular EBV-associated T/NK-cell lymphomas, using a combinational analytical approach via gene and miRNA expression profiling on paraffin embedded tissue samples. Her group also has expertise in quantitative immunofluorescence using multispectral imaging platform.
