Andrew Ying Hui Ng

Introduction

Dr. Andrew Ying Hui Ng received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Biotechnology and a minor in Pharmacology and Toxicology from the University at Buffalo (UB) in 2013. While pursuing his undergraduate degree, he participated in an internship with Kinex Pharmaceuticals, where he worked to elucidate the mechanism of a novel class of immunosuppressants. He acquired additional research experience in an academic lab in the UB Department of Biotechnical and Clinical Laboratory Sciences (BCLS), where he studied Exportin-7, a protein critical for nuclear extrusion during mammalian erythrocyte differentiation. He obtained his Ph.D. degree from the UB Deparment of Oral Biology and under the co-mentorship of Dr. Shuying Yang and Dr. Jun Qu. His research is focused on using LC/MS and proteomics as a tool to discern the molecular mechanism behind skeletal aging and the role of primary cilia in osteoarthritis.
