Wai Leong Tam, Ph.D.
Deputy Executive Director,
Genome Institute of Singapore
Principal Investigator,
Cancer Science Institute of Singapore
Wai Leong Tam performed his Ph.D. research on stem cell biology at the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS, A*STAR). He undertook his postdoctoral training with Bob Weinberg at the Whitehead Institute/MIT, where he concentrated on understanding breast cancer stem cell biology and cancer metastasis. He then joined the GIS and the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore as a faculty member.
Dr. Tam’s lab focuses on uncovering emerging paradigms of cancer stem cells, specifically in the areas of cancer metabolism, cell state transitions, and tumor microenvironment. Current efforts are focused on identifying and validating preclinical targets that can lead into drug development, as well as translating fundamental discoveries into paradigms that can help change and advance clinical practice.
