  • Joo Chuan Tong Joo Chuan Tong (Ph.D., National University of Singapore) is a Principal Investigator at the Institute for Infocomm Research, A*STAR, Singapore. He is the team leader of Molecular Design Group and Assistant Department Head of Data Mining Department at I2R. He is also the current president of the Association for Medical and Bio-Informatics, Singapore (AMBIS). His research interests include immunoinformatics, virtual library design and molecular docking. In 2008, he was conferred the MIT TR35 Award – an award that honours the top 35 science and technology innovators in the world under the age of 35.

    Limsoon Wong Limsoon Wong is a Professor of Computing and Medicine at the National University of Singapore. He is currently working mostly on knowledge discovery technologies and is especially interested in their application to biomedicine. He has written about 100 research papers, a few of which are among the best cited of their respective fields. In recognition for his contributions to these fields, he has received several awards, including the 2003 FEER Asian Innovation Gold Award for his work on treatment optimization of childhood leukemias. He is a scientific advisor to GeneticXchange (USA), Molecular Connections (India), and KOOPrime (Singapore).

    Frank Eisenhaber Frank Eisenhaber studied mathematics at the Humboldt-University in Berlin and biophysics and medicine at the Pirogov Medical University in Moscow. In 1988, he received the Ph.D. in molecular biology from the Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology in Moscow. After postdoctoral work at the Institute of Molecular Biology in Berlin-Buch (1989-1991) and at the EMBL in Heidelberg (1991-1999), he worked as teamleader of the bioinformatics research group and head of the general IT department at the Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) in Vienna (1999-2007). Since August 2007, he is the Director of the Bioinformatics Institute, A*STAR, Singapore.

    Martti Tammi Martti Tammi joined The National University of Singapore in April 2004. He is cross-appointed as Assistant Professor in The Department of Biochemistry, the Faculty of Medicine and The Department of Biological Sciences, the Faculty of Science and affiliated with MTC, the Medical Nobel Institute, Karolinska Insitutet, Sweden. Martti received his Ph.D. in Medical Sciences from the Uppsala University, Sweden in 2002. His research interests include computational molecular biology, design of algorithms, pattern matching, and gene regulation. His academic work focuses on key problems in DNA sequencing, a range of pattern comparison, database search, and sequence analysis problems.

    Kwoh Chee Keong Kwoh Chee Keong is an Associate Professor in the School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University. He is one of the deputy director of the Biomedical Engineering Research Centre. He is also the Programme Director of the Master of Science in Bioinformatics in NTU. He received his B.Eng. degrees in Electrical Engineering and M.Sc. in Industrial and Systems Engineering 1987 and 1991, respectively. He received his Ph.D. degree from Imperial College, University of London in 1995. His research interests include medical image processing, learning from data, graphic and visualization in enhancing medical assisted devices and systems.
