May Ee Png
BEng, PhD
Senior Researcher in Health Economics
My research interests are health technology assessment, including but not limited to economic evaluations within clinical trials, and electronic health record analytics. I am a member of the Research Methods team in The Bone & Joint Journal Editorial Board. I am also a committee member of the Medical Sciences Internal Fund: Pump Priming.
I completed a BEng in Biomedical Engineering and a PhD in Public Health specialising in Health Economics at the National University of Singapore. Before my PhD, I worked as a hospital executive and research coordinator at the Singapore General Hospital. Here I worked with both the clinical and operations teams, learning hospital operation and administration, and interacting with and collecting research data from patients and their caregivers.
I'm currently involved in PANORAMIC, a platform trial to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of antiviral treatments for COVID-19, and various trial-based economic evaluations in the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS).
