Profile
Dr Gideon Ooi obtained his medical degree from National University of Singapore in 2010 and his specialist qualifications in Diagnostic Radiology from the Royal College of Radiologists and National University of Singapore in 2017. He completed further specialist training in Nuclear Medicine in 2020 to become among a handful of dually-accredited Diagnostic Radiologist and Nuclear Medicine Phy-sician.
In 2023, Dr Ooi received the prestigious National Medical Research Council Research Training Fel-lowship (NMRC RTF) to be among few nationally-selected Innovation Fellows in the Singapore Bi-odesign Programme that aims to nurture the next generation of medtech innovators for Singapore and Asia, (the first diagnostic radiologist or nuclear medicine physician to do so). During the fellowship, he underwent clinical immersion at Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital in China, and received training at Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign at Stanford University and at Fogarty Innovation In-stitute in California, USA. He and his team filed for two provisional patents during the fellowship.
Dr Ooi also has research interests in oncologic imaging, theranostics as well as medical artificial intel-ligence.
He is a Core Faculty member of the Nuclear Medicine Senior Residency Programme and Clinical As-sitant Professor with Duke-NUS Medical School. He also serves as an executive committee member of Singapore Radiological Society
