  • Dr. Ng Chyan Leong is a senior research fellow in the Institute of Systems Biology (INBIOSIS), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. He graduated from the Universiti Putra Malaysia where he earned a Bachelor in Biotechnology and Master in Molecular Biology. He completed his PhD in structural biology at the York Structural Biology Laboratory, University of York, UK. He then worked as postdoctoral fellow at the Medical Research Council, Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK. His researches focus on the structural and functional studies of biologically important macromolecules including secondary metabolites biosynthesis enzymes, hypothetical proteins in human and pathogenic bacteria.
