Dianna Ng

Dianna Ng, MD is an Assistant Professor at the University of California San Francisco. Her research focuses on diagnostic pathology, oncology, and infectious diseases with a particular emphasis on molecular diagnostics and global health applications. Dr. Ng has contributed to studies on HER2 expression in gastric cancers, SARS-CoV-2 immunity mechanisms, and the use of fine-needle aspiration biopsies in low-resource settings.

Her work spans diverse areas including viral pathogenesis (SARS-CoV-2, Ebola/Marburg), cancer biomarkers (NTRK fusions, estrogen receptor analysis), and tropical medicine (Helicobacter pylori detection in Tanzania). Dr. Ng has published extensively on diagnostic pipelines for viral antigens and host response biosignatures, as well as translational research in thyroid pathology and transplant-related infections.

Key contributions include development of multiplex diagnostic assays (ReScan), spatial omics analysis of viral infections, and global health initiatives improving cancer screening accessibility. Her publications demonstrate strong expertise in applying cutting-edge molecular techniques to real-world clinical challenges in both high and low-resource settings.
