Professor Siew Ng is Croucher Professor in Medical Sciences and Associate Dean (Research) of Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. She is also Director of the Microbiota I-Center (MagIC).
She has discovered novel gut microbial signatures and transformed such signatures into clinically applicable non-invasive tests for early diagnosis of colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and neurodevelopmental disorders in children. Her inventions can be adapted for broader applications in disease monitoring and predicting drug responses for various chronic conditions, including cognitive impairments, immune-mediated disorders and cancer, leading to a personalized patient-centered solution.
Professor Ng is also at the forefront of epidemiology, genetics and pathogenesis of IBD and has led over 30 countries and 100 centers in Asia-Pacific to study IBD. In 2017, she established Asia’s First Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) Research Center which is now the sole provider of FMT to over 40 public hospitals in Hong Kong. She has co-founded two biotechnology companies focusing on first-in-class microbial diagnostics and therapeutics.
She has published over 400 papers in Nature, Nature Genetics, Nature Medicine and Lancet. She is the first female clinician-scientist to be awarded New Cornerstone Investigator in Mainland China in 2023 and was awarded the Bank of China Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Prize in 2024. She was awarded Deloitte Technology Fast Outstanding Female Entrepreneur Award and High Flyer Innopreneur Award by Federation of Hong Kong in 2023, and Highly-cited researchers by Clarivate for 5 consecutive years since 2020.
