Prof. Wing-Kin Sung
The Chinese University of Hongkong, and
Hongkong Genome Institute
Professor Wing-Kin Sung is a Global STEM Professor in the Department of
Chemical Pathology, the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is the
director of the JC STEM Lab of Computational Genomics. His recent
research focuses on identifying genomic mutations from high-throughput
sequencing data and on understanding the relationship between mutations
(in particular, structural variations) and diseases. Prof. Sung received
both the B.Sc. and the Ph.D. degree in the Department of Computer
Science from the University of Hong Kong in 1993, 1998, respectively. He
has over 25 years of experience in Algorithm and Bioinformatics
research. Prior to joining CUHK, Professor Sung was a Professor in the
Department of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore
(NUS) and was a senior group leader at the Genome Institute of
Singapore. He is an expert in the field of bioinformatics, who has been
leading the development of a number of bioinformatics software and has
over 290 high impact papers published in renowned academic journals,
including Bioinformatics, Cell, Nature, Nature Genetics and Nucleic
Acids Research. In recognition of his research contributions, Professor
Sung was conferred the FIT Paper Award (Japan) in 2003, the National
Science Award (Singapore) in 2006, and the Young Researcher Award (NUS)
in 2008. He has also served in the programming committee for over 70
international conferences.
