Prof Ng Siok Bian received her medical degree from the National University of Singapore (NUS). She subsequently obtained Fellowship of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia and completed her specialty training in haematolymphoid pathology as a visiting fellow at the National Cancer Institute / National Institute of Health, Bethesda, USA. Prof Ng joined the Department of Pathology at NUS in 2007. She is currently the Research Director of the Department of Pathology and a council member of Clinician Scientist Academy at the National University Health System. Prof Ng also serves as a member of the International Lymphoma Study Group.

As a haematolymphoid pathologist, Prof Ng’s research focuses on EBV-associated T/NK-cell lymphomas. By employing integrative analytical methods—such as gene and miRNA expression profiling, spatial transcriptomics, and proteomics—she aims to uncover and validate key biomarkers and oncogenic pathways involved in these lymphomas. Her work also seeks to further dissect the complexity of the tumour microenvironment and to better understand the crosstalk between malignant and immune cells within this environment.
