Biography

Dr NG Yuen Keng (伍儒敬) is a Lecturer in the School of Biomedical Sciences, CUHK since 2015. Before joining CUHK as a lecturer, Dr. Ng was a technical specialist for Next Generation Sequencing in the Molecular Genomic Pathology Division of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He received his BSc (Hons) and MPhil degrees in Biochemistry from CUHK. After obtaining his PhD degree in Molecular Pharmacology from University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Ng continued his post-doctoral trainings in Duke University and University of Pittsburgh afterwards. As an academic research scientist, Dr. Ng’s research interests include neuropharmacology, spinal cord neuronal regeneration, neonatal micturition control development, and liver cancer cell biology. At present, he is involved in the teaching of Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Clinical Biochemistry, Bioethics in the MBChB, BPharm and BSc in Biomedical Sciences programmes.
