Ket Hing Chong

Ket Hing is interested in studying cancer from a holistic approach or interdisciplinary approach, which means combining molecular biology, mathematics and dynamical system theory to investigate the molecular mechanism that controls cell life and death. His study focuses on the p53 gene regulatory network. The main objective is to understand what causes cancer and how to design better treatment for cancer. Recently, he works on neurology of pain using a systems biology approach.
