Joe Yeong aims to understand and overcome the resistance of cancer immunotherapy through the use of advanced technologies and artificial intelligence. As an immunopathologist, his key vision is to bridge the work of immunologists and pathologists. Yeong is a pioneer in spatial technologies and a Stanford/Elsevier Top 2% Scientist with >130 published papers and has translated assays to clinical settings. His works on cancer immunology have been included in national- and international-funded studies as well as industry-sponsored projects.

 

As a committee member in the World Immunotherapy Council (WIC) under the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer, Yeong is among the organisers of several WIC Global Symposia, as well as WIC multiplex IF expert consensus meetings. In 2023, he co-founded the WIC Asian Chapter for promoting tumour immunology and advancing cancer immunotherapy education and research across Asia.

 

Yeong serves as a founding Program Chair of CLINICCAI-MICCAI, one of the world’s largest AI medical imaging conferences; as a founding board member of MICCAI SIG-ComPath; as the Secretary (Executive) of the Singapore Society of Oncology – Cancer Immunotherapy Consortium; as a Co-lead in Education/Diagnostics of the Singhealth Duke-NUS Cell Therapy Centre; and as Advisor (Spatial Technology) for the Cancer Discovery Hub at the National Cancer Centre Singapore.
