Dr Sijing Xiong is a toxicologist. She was graduated from Singapore Nanyang Technological University (NTU). In her PhD studies, she investigated the potential toxicity of nanomaterials used in biomedical and cosmetic products. In 2011, she won Ian Ferguson Postgraduate Fellowship and got the chance to exchange and learn in the world leading lab in the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). In Prof. André Nel’s nanotoxicology lab, she learnt the high content and high throughput drug testing technology. After she came back to Singapore, she joined the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) in Singapore Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR). In IBN, she established a whole automatic drug testing platform to accurately predict the potential nephrotoxicity of compounds in a cost and time efficient way. This platform won Lush Prize 2016 and later got collaboration chance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Dr. Xiong has 10-year experience in toxicology related work. She published 21 journal papers and has two patents about toxicity prediction method in application.
