Chong Lor Huai is a Lecturer at the School of Pharmacy, Monash University Malaysia since September 2021. She holds a B.Eng in Biomedical Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (2014) and a Ph.D. from the National University of Singapore (2019). Her research focuses on developing organ-on-chip systems and 3D tumor microenvironment models for drug testing and disease modeling. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Bioinformatics Institute (BII), A*STAR, Singapore.
- Education:
- B.Eng (Biomedical Engineering), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (2010–2014)
- Ph.D. (Biomedical Engineering), National University of Singapore (2015–2019)
Her research interests include micro-engineered tissue models for drug discovery, organ-on-chip platforms for cancer metastasis studies, and translational applications of multi-scale tissue models. She leads projects like the '3D Metastatic Breast Cancer-on-Chip Model' and collaborates on gut health studies. She has received awards such as the NUS Research Scholarship and UTM Vice-Chancellor Award.
Key scientific contributions include developing in vitro models to predict cutaneous drug reactions, published in Lab on a Chip. She is also a unit coordinator for the course PHR1031 'How The Body Works'.
