Lor Huai Chong

About

Lor Huai Chong is an early-career researcher who has joined the School of Pharmacy, Monash University Malaysia as a lecturer since Sept 2021. She received her B.Eng and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), and the National University of Singapore(NUS) in 2014 and 2019 respectively. Before joining Monash University Malaysia, she did her post-doctoral training at the Bioinformatics Institute (BII), A*STAR, Singapore for 2 years.

Her research interest is to develop multi-scale tissue models to mimic the complex biological interactions, as well as translate them into scalable platforms for disease modeling and drug testing applications. During her Ph.D. candidature, her major scientific contribution is the development of in vitro tissue models to recapitulate cutaneous drug reactions. Her thesis work has resulted in several publications in the leading scientific journal(Q1, Top 10%), Lab on a Chip.

Lor Huai is also a recipient of the National University of Singapore(NUS) Research Scholarship, University Vice-Chancellor Award (UTM), Best of the Best Award in the Faculty’s Biosciences and Medical Engineering Student Conference (BME), and JPA scholarship(Malaysia).
