Clin Asst Prof Chong Jun Hua

Clinical Assistant Professor Chong Jun Hua is a Consultant from the Department of Cardiology at National Heart Centre Singapore and is board-certified in Cardio-Oncology.

She has received Cardiology training at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (Sydney), The Alfred Hospital (Melbourne) and Nepean Hospital (Sydney) and has completed a Fellowship in multimodality cardiac imaging (CMR/ECHO/CT) and Cardio-Oncology at Barts Heart Centre, London.

Clin Asst Prof Chong’s subspecialty clinical interests are in multimodality cardiac imaging and Cardio-oncology and is also actively involved in ongoing research trials on the application of multimodality cardiac imaging to improve cardiovascular outcomes and cardioprotective strategies in Cardio-oncology.

She has completed a PhD in Clinical and Translational Sciences at Duke-NUS Medical School in Cardiovascular Medicine and is currently pursuing a MSc in Clinical Trials at the University of Oxford, Nuffield Department of Population Health, organised in collaboration with the European Society of Cardiology.
