BIOGRAPHY

 

Dr Swee-Seong, TANG is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Science, University of Malaya, Malaysia. He received his B.Sc (Hons) in Biochemistry in 2000 and M.Sc in Microbiology in 2004 from the University of Malaya. He was awarded a tutorship by the University of Malaya for his MSc study and SLAI fellowship (University academic training scheme) by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia to pursue his PhD studies at the Australian National University, Australia. He obtained his PhD in Molecular Microbiology in 2013.

He has then returned to Malaysia to take up a tenure track lectureship position at the University of Malaya. He has been playing a key role as PI and leads several research projects include “Isolation and characterization of bacteriophage against Shigella spp” and “elucidating the molecular mechanistic interaction of polyvalent bacteriophages against bacterial hosts”. Over the past few years, his research team has characterized a collection of phages that target on enterica bacteria. He is also interested in developing bacteriophage cocktails as a diagnostic and therapy product against multidrug resistant pathogens in aquatic animals. His ultimate aim is to develop natural alternatives to solve the crisis in multidrug resistance and the use of phages in the treatment of diseases in human and agricultural animals.

Dr Swee-Seong Tang was an editorial board member of the Special Issue on Recent Topics in Life Sciences, Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences – Elsevier in 2015. He also acted as the guess reviewer for several national & international journals which include the Frontiers in Life Sciences, Malaysian Journal of Science, Carbohydrate RESEARCH, JSM Tropical Medicine & Research, Journal of Tropical Agriculture and Food Science, Malaysian Applied Biology, PLoS ONE, Phytochemistry, PeerJ, International Journal of Nanomedicine, Microbial Drug Resistance, Journal of Cellular Physiology, Malaysian Journal of Microbiology, Journal of Health and Translational Medicine, Philippine Journal of Science, Journal-Tropical Biomedicine, etc.
