Theme Speakers Highlight |
Prof Cheong Sok Ching
|
Professor Cheong is the Chief Scientific Officer at Cancer Research Malaysia. She is also an Adjunct Professor at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Malaya. Her work aims to improve management and survival of cancer patients through the understanding of the underlying molecular changes, and through the development of novel treatment approaches, focusing on head and neck cancers. Her work includes the development of immunotherapy and the use CRISPR-Cas9 essential screens to identify novel targets for head and neck cancer. In addition, she also focuses on early detection using innovative strategies including the development of novel mobile health tools such as MeMoSA®, enabling early detection of oral cancer. She has received grants from national and international funding bodies including the Newton-Ungku Omar Fund, Newton Fund Impact Scheme, Global Challenges Research Fund and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation SMART Fund, amongst others. In recognition of her research contributions, she has received several national and international scientific awards, including the President’s Award by the International Association of Oral Maxillofacial Pathologist (IAOP), the 8th Underwriters Laboratories-ASEAN-US Science Prize for Women 2022 and The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) Medal Lecture. |
Theme talk: Leveraging technology for oral cancer detection |
Dr. Teck Yew Low Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) |
Dr. Teck Yew Low is an Associate Professor and Senior Research Fellow at the UKM Medical Molecular Biology Institute (UMBI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). He holds a PhD in Biochemistry from the National University of Singapore and a BSc (Hons) in Biotechnology from Imperial College London. He completed his post-doctoral training at the Center for Experimental Bioinformatics (CEBI) in Denmark and the Netherlands Proteomics Center (NPC) in Utrecht University. Dr. Low has over 20 years of experience in proteomics and biological mass spectrometry, with research interests in cancer proteogenomics, phosphoproteomics, and drug-protein interactions. Dr. Low is actively involved in the proteomics community, serving as Secretary General of the Asia Oceania Human Proteome Organization (AOHUPO) and President of the Malaysian Proteomics Society (MAPS). He is Editor-in-Chief of Proteome Science and a member of the Editorial Board for Molecular & Cellular Proteomics (MCP). Dr. Low frequently shares his work at conferences and events, including the piHUB Global Summit and CNHUPO Congress, contributing to the advancement of proteomics research and collaboration. |

Dr Susanti Susanti
|
Dr. Susanti is a trained pharmacist graduated from Universitas Gadjah Mada in Jogjakarta, Indonesia. She obtained a M. Phil from The John Curtin School of Medical Research at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia. She finished her PhD in Molecular Pathology Group, School of Medicine, University of Nottingham. She then continued doing research in the same group in Nottingham as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. She is now a researcher in Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute in Glasgow, under mentorship of Prof. Owen Sansom. Her current research focuses on stem cell niche in early progression of colorectal cancer and biological mechanism of early onset colorectal cancer. In early 2021, She combined her scientific knowledge and skills with her personal experience as cancer survivor to found PathGen Diagnostic Technology, a start-up which focuses on utilising low-cost technology for molecular genotyping to guide the care of cancer (and other diseases) in resource-limited countries such as Indonesia. She has won numerous awards including Vice Chancelor Award from University of Nottingham, Innovator Award for Pharmaceutical and Medical Device 2022 from Indonesia Ministry of Health and Early Career Entrepreneur of the Year 2022 from Cancer Research Horizon UK. |
