Biografi/ Biography :
Dr. Chin Siok-Fong memperoleh Sarjana Muda (Kepujian) Sains Bioperubatan dari Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia pada tahun 2004 dan dianugerahkan Ijazah Doktor Falsafah dalam Sains Perubatan (pengkhususan Biokimia) dari universiti yang sama pada tahun 2011.
Beliau pakar dalam analisis bioanalisis biomolekul berkaitan klinikal menggunakan platform berbilang omik. Fokus penyelidikan beliau tertumpu pada penemuan biopenanda kanser dan biologi kanser, daripada mengkaji mekanisme pelbagai biomolekul kepada pembangunan biomolekul tersebut sebagai peramal risiko untuk kanser kolorektal, paru-paru dan payudara. Beliau juga meneroka rangkaian komunikasi antara hos dan patogen dalam kanser kolorektal melalui pendekatan mikrobiom dan sekretom usus. Selama bertahun-tahun, beliau terlibat secara aktif dalam membangunkan kaedah bioanalisis baharu untuk melengkapi kajian klinikal seperti pengesanan pelbagai molekul kecil, ubat-ubatan dan molekul plastik (phthalates) menggunakan spektrometri jisim dan kromatografi cecair berprestasi tinggi. Beliau juga telah mengambil bahagian dalam percubaan klinikal dan kajian biokesetaraan. Terbaharu, beliau sedang menyiasat kemungkinan penggunaan molekul sintetik baharu daripada oligonukleotida yang mimik kepada antibodi (juga dikenali sebagai aptamer) sebagai alternatif yang lebih baik berbanding antibodi konvensional, sebagai komponen utama dalam ujian diagnostik baharu.
Keupayaan Dr. Chin dalam membangunkan kaedah bioanalisis baharu untuk kajian klinikal telah menarik minat daripada pihak industri untuk mengadakan kolaborasi penyelidikan. Dengan kerjasama tersebut, beliau kini menggabungkan kecerdasan buatan dalam mewujudkan model ramalan risiko baharu berasaskan unsur surih beserta aplikasi enjin kalkulator risiko untuk pemeriksaan awal kanser paru-paru tanpa gejala.
Dr. Chin Siok Fong obtained her BSc. (Hons) Biomedical Sciences from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in 2004 and conferred a PhD in Medical Sciences (major in Biochemistry) from the same university in 2011.
She specializes in bioanalytical analysis of clinically related biomolecules using multi-omics platforms. Her current research interests focused on cancer biomarker discovery and cancer biology, from studying the molecular mechanisms to establishing various biomolecules as potential risk predictor for colorectal, lung and breast cancers. She also explored communication network between host and pathogen in colorectal cancer via gut microbiome and secretome approaches. Over the years, she was (and still is) actively involved in developing new bioanalytical methods to complement clinical studies such as detection of numerous small molecules, drugs, and plasticisers (phthalates) using mass spectrometry and high performance liquid chromatography. She has also participated in human intervention trial and bioequivalence study. Currently, she is investigating the possible application of new synthetic molecules mimicking antibodies from oligonucleotides also known as aptamer as a better alternative to conventional antibodies, as the central component for new diagnostic assays.
Dr. Chin’s strong ability in developing new bioanalytical method for clinical studies had attracted some interest from the industry. With the collaboration, she is currently incorporating artificial intelligence in establishing a novel trace element-based risk prediction model and its platform for early screening of asymptomatic lung cancer.
