Executive Committee

CHEOK Chit Fang

Assistant Professor

Research focus is on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanism in cancer development and therapy resistance for the development of diagnostic markers and selective therapeutics against cancer resistance and metastasis.

GOH Boon Cher

Professor

Anand Devaprasath JEYASEKHARAN

Assistant Professor

Clinical research focuses on combinatorial drug therapy trials in lymphoma, and methods for evaluating cancer phenotypes for personalized treatment choice. Biological research focuses on understanding the signalling pathways involved in activation of immune responses after chemotherapy.

Dennis KAPPEI

Assistant Professor

Research focus is on DNA-protein interactions and changes in chromatin composition by quantitative mass spectrometry. In particular, focus is on telomeres and their impact on genome stability as well as on related transcriptional regulation at (mutated) promoters or enhancers.

OOI Gaik Ming, Melissa

Assistant Professor

She is currently the leukaemia group lead in National University Cancer Institute of Singapore and is also heavily involved in myeloma, leukaemia and myelodysplasia clinical care and research. She is also interested in health service research and geriatric research.

TAY Kai Xun, Joshua

Assistant Professor

Research interest is in developing gene signatures for precision medicine with full-transcriptome RNA-Seq from small amounts of FFPE tissue.

TOO Heng Phon

Associate Professor

Research focus is on developing diagnostic tools to detect early changes in the development of cancers using small amounts of blood. We are now focusing on gene engineering of cells for treatment of cancers and other diseases.

Raymond TSANG

Associate Professor

Research focus is on the detection and surgical treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the swallowing function of patients after head and neck cancer treatment & robotic surgery in head and neck particularly the nasopharynx and skull base.

Ashok VENKITARAMAN

Professor

Research focus is on deciphering the mechanisms underlying cancer susceptibility to intercept cancer evolution.

YONG Wei Peng

Assistant Professor

CHOW Kai-Hua, Edward

Associate Professor

Research focus is on how to quickly and accurately identify effective cancer therapeutic options for individual cancer patients as well as specific sub-groups of cancer patients in both blood cancers and solid tumours.
