Summary
Alvin Ng is a cross-trained STEM leader and board member with nine years of experience at the intersection of biotech, innovation strategy, and startup investing, currently serving on the RMIT Activator Capital Fund. He combines a PhD in Cancer Biology with hands-on roles in corporate development, venture partnerships, and accelerator programs across Singapore and the region, helping translate deep-science projects into funded ventures. Alvin has led fundraising, industry partnerships, and stakeholder engagement for bioprocessing and cell therapy initiatives while also evaluating deals across APAC and Europe as an investment manager and venture partner. Comfortable switching between lab, boardroom, and developer mindsets (he lists himself as a senior full‑stack developer on GitHub), he brings technical fluency to strategic decisions and product commercialization. Not obvious from titles alone, he has repeatedly built cross-sector networks—aligning public research agendas with private innovation pipelines—to accelerate translational outcomes. Practical, networked, and scientifically literate, he thrives on turning complex research into scalable ventures.
