Chia Hung Chen's Biography

Chia Hung Chen, Assistant Professor, National University of Singapore

Chia-Hung Chen is an Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering at the National University of Singapore. His current research is focused on developing a continuous flow microfluidic device as a functional flow-cytometer for applications in systems biology, drug screening, bio-fabrication, clinical detections and precision medicine. As a principal investigator at NUS, Chia-Hung has successfully obtained external (government/industry) funding to support my research team, with ~3M USD of research expenditures over ~5 years, and his lab has delivered research outcomes. Moreover, Chia-Hung has effectively interacted with a diverse community of students and faculty to address challenges in device development and healthcare to fabricate novel products. Given his expertise in systems engineering and fluidic devices, he has collaborated with bioinformatics researchers and clinicians at the National University Hospital of Singapore (NUHS) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to develop diagnostic tools for use in translational medicine and a real-time monitoring system for individual therapeutics.
