A/Prof Evelyn KOAY Siew-Chuan Current Appointments Dr Evelyn S. Koay holds a tenured position as Associate Professor at the Department of Pathology, NUS and a joint appointment as Director of the Molecular Diagnosis Centre, Department of Laboratory Medicine, NUH. She joined the NUS in January 1985 as a lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry and was transferred to the Department of Pathology in 1988. Academic and Professional Qualifications Earned Dr Koay’s Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Hawaii was fully sponsored by a U.S. Federal fellowship meted through the East-West Centre headquartered in Honolulu. During her sabbatical in 1991/92, she obtained an M.Sc. (with Distinction) in Applied Molecular Biology and Bioengineering from University College London (UCL), which led to her switch of focus towards molecular diagnostics and applied research in molecular medicine in recent years. Dr Koay is a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists, UK (FRCPath, Chemical Pathology) and a Fellow of the Australian Association of Clinical Biochemists (FAACB). Both qualifications were obtained via examinations. She has been deeply involved with CME activities in Clinical Biochemistry since 1985, and is on the Board of Examiners of the Australasian Association of Clinical Biochemists, and on the Editorial Board of the Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry, and the Clinical Biochemist Reviews. She was presented the Boehringer Mannheim-Singapore Association of Clinical Biochemists Award for “outstanding contribution to the practice of Clinical Biochemistry in Singapore" in 1990, by her professional colleagues. Publications Dr Koay is a co-author of four textbooks in Chemical Pathology: - Cases in Chemical Pathology – A Diagnostic Approach (currently in its 3rd edition) - Handbook of Chemical Pathology - A Primer of Chemical Pathology - Clinical Acid-Base Disorders Her other publications (or CME contributions) include: - 4 monographs - 7 book chapters - 25 original research papers and >40 abstracts/short articles in, peer-reviewed, international scientific journals - 13 original research papers in local/regional journals - 75 conference papers, and - more than 50 invited lectures or public talks. Research Dr Koay has successfully won 12 overlapping
competitive research grants amounting to >$1,000,000 between
1985 and 2002. Her current research interests are focused on applying
tools of molecular and cell biology to the diagnosis of diseases,
especially those of high prevalence in the local population. She
collaborates with colleagues from other NUS departments and from
other hospitals and national institutions in Singapore and the region. |
