H.K. Ng is Chair Professor at the Chinese of University of Hong Kong. His interests are in the molecular genetics of brain tumours, both adult and pediatric. He was previously Department Chairman. H.K. Ng is both a neuropathologist and a general pathologist.
H.K. is an Associate Editor of Laboratory Investigation (IF:5.7) and Associate Editor of Neuro-Oncology Advance (IF:3.5) and is also on the Editorial Boards of Acta Neuropathologica (IF:17.1), Brain Pathology (IF:6.5), Glioma, Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology (IF:8.1), Clinical Neuropathology, and Pathology (IF:5.3).
He was a member of the Consensus Group of the 2007 and 2016 WHO classifications of the brain tumours. For the WHO 2021 Classification, he was one of the only 10 neuropathologists from around the world to have been selected for the Consensus Group.
As an educationalist, H.K. was also Associate Dean (Education) of the Medical School of the Chinese University of Hong Kong for 15 years and was Chair of the Licentiate Examination of the Hong Kong Medical Council, for 10 years.
H.K. Ng was part of the teams who received the 2nd Tier Award of The National Science and Technology Award of China in 2010 and the First Tier Science and Technology Award of Shanghai in 2019. He received the International Academy of Pathology Gold Medal twice in 2006 and 2017, and the HMRF Research Award of the Department of Health in 2021.
