Justin Chu Jang Hann

Associate Professor Justin Chu Jang Hann is affiliated with the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the National University of Singapore (NUS), within the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine. He holds additional roles as Assistant Dean (Academic Affairs) in the School of Medicine, Director of the NUS Medicine BSL-3 & ABSL-3 Core Facility, and Joint Senior Principal Investigator at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) A*STAR. His research focuses on molecular RNA virology, antiviral strategies, and high-throughput imaging technologies to study host-pathogen interactions. Key projects include genomic screening of viral-host interactions, high-content bio-imaging platforms, and development of anti-viral compounds against pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, dengue, and enteroviruses. Recent work explores broad-spectrum antivirals, vaccine candidates, and diagnostic approaches for viral infections. His contributions span virology, immunology, and translational medicine, with a strong emphasis on combating emerging and re-emerging RNA viruses.
