Ng was a pediatric hematology/oncology fellow at the University of Colorado - Anschutz Medical Campus. He attended medical school at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California and completed his pediatrics residency at the University of Washington/Seattle Children's Hospital. Ng pursued fellowship training in Colorado because of the University of Colorado Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center and its commitment to clinical care and hemostasis-based research. As an NHF-Baxter Fellow, Ng learned about the care of patients with bleeding and clotting disorders under the mentorship of Dr. Marilyn Manco-Johnson. He continued with his research projects involving the role of von Willebrand factor in hemostatic and thrombotic diseases as evidenced by his multiple research awards in this field. Ng's career goals are to focus on the care of pediatric patients with bleeding and clotting disorders through clinical care and academic research.
