Professor Ruby Huang obtained her MD degree from National Taiwan University (NTU) in 1999 and completed the residency training of Obstetrics & Gynecology in 2003 and subspecialty fellowship training of gynecologic/surgical oncology in National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) in 2006. During that time, she discovered her strong interest in research and started her PhD study in the Graduate Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology of NTU in 2004. She decided to work as a clinician scientist with a focus in gynecologic oncology and specifically in ovarian cancer (OC). In 2006, she was awarded the FIGO / BSP Postdoctoral Research Fellowship and joined Prof. Nelly Auersperg’s lab in University of British Columbia (UBC) to study epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of human ovarian surface epithelium (OSE). She obtained her PhD degree from NTU in 2008. Her postdoctoral studies with Prof. Jean Paul Thiery at Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) in Singapore (2007-2009) led her to cancer genomics and translational research, focusing on the genomic alterations of and the mechanism of early events during epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). She subsequently joined the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at the National University Hospital (NUH) of Singapore and the Cancer Science Institute (CSI) of Singapore of National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2009 until 2019 and developed the ovarian cancer research program. She returned to NTU in April 2019 under the Yushan Young Scholar Program supported by Ministry of Education in Taiwan among the top talents in this global recruitment program. After joining NTU, she started to engage in trans-disciplinary research and education across diverse fields in precision oncology, integrative omics, spatial biology, bioengineering, and social innovation.
