Biography
Dr Ing Soo Tiong is a clinical haematologist consulting from Eastern Haematology Oncology Group.
He graduated from the University of Otago and completed his Basic Physician Training in Dunedin, New Zealand. He joined Alfred Hospital (2016) as the Leukaemia Fellow, awarded the HSANZ New Investigator Scholarship for 2017, and completed Haematology Advance Training in 2017 with dual Fellowships of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia.
He is undertaking a part-time research higher degree at Alfred Hospital/Monash University. His interests are myeloid malignancies (acute leukaemias, myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative neoplasms), but would welcome any malignant and non-malignant haematological condition. He is also active in clinical trial developments, working to translate scientific breakthroughs and seek treatment options for patients he treats.
Ing-Soo is the medical lead for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia at the Austin Hospital.
Other appointments: Alfred Hospital (Clinical Haematologist), Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (Laboratory Haematologist).
