JUNHONG CH'NG (@HON)
Senior Lecturer, Principal Investigator
Teaching and research interests include biofilms (no way!), microbiomes and also malaria/parasitology. I am also involved in pedagogical research on how better to promote microbiology education.
Husband & dad of 4 kids, cycling, fishing, camping, nature, legos, nerf blasters, war robots, drums, guitars.
Teaching philosophy: people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care! I try my best to connect with students by being open and transparent, fun and quirky, enthusiastic and provocative. What's the point of imparting knowledge to students or training skilled researchers if I fail to impart my love for research and life?

Grateful for the opportunity to work in our biofilm lab, where I’ve learnt so much under Dr Ch’ng’s mentorship!
I’m working on a bioelectric device that (hopefully) zaps sink bacteria in hospital critical care settings until they give up. Outside of medtech, I’m usually eating the pistachio ice cream from burnt cones, trying to play a convincing game of tennis or watching the odd game of football (I love Barcelona!) with my friends at 3am. I also moonlight as an amateur creative writer, and I enjoy carving out some personal time to read and write when inspiration strikes :D

Research Assistant / PhD student (Duke-NUS)
Really happy to be part of the lab and kickstart my PhD journey under the guidance of Dr Ch’ng Junhong (NUS) and Dr Jianhong (DUKE-NUS)! I’m currently working on projects related to alternative proteins, and I’m excited to explore how microbiology research can contribute to making future food systems safer and more sustainable :D Outside the lab, I enjoy watercolor painting and sketching (though I’m definitely still learning), and I’m also a big fan of reading fan fiction whenever I need a break from research.
