Rate My Professor Hoi Yee Tong

Professor Hoi Yee Tong serves as Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Sports at Macao Polytechnic University, with affiliation dating back to 2010 at the institution, previously known as Macau Polytechnic Institute. His academic career includes roles in the School of Health Sciences, where he acted as Programme Coordinator for the Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Technology. Tong holds a PhD and MPH, as noted in his scholarly publications.

Tong's research specializations encompass computational pharmaceutical sciences, artificial intelligence applications in drug discovery, multi-omics analyses, medical imaging, and public health interventions. He has contributed to advancements in predicting ADMET properties using multimodal attention mechanisms, identifying population-specific cardiovascular disease mechanisms via integrated multi-omics, discovering putative MmpL3 inhibitors against Mycobacterium tuberculosis through computational and biological approaches, developing M3 SegNet for nasopharyngeal carcinoma segmentation in radiotherapy planning, and creating Cmem Builder for curved membrane construction in molecular dynamics simulations. Key publications include Enhancing ADMET property predictions using cross-aligned multimodal attention mechanisms (2026, Molecular Diversity), Integrated multi-omics reveals population-specific mechanisms of cardiovascular disease in high-altitude environments (2026, iScience), Integrating computational and biological approaches for the discovery of putative MmpL3 inhibitors against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (2026, Molecular Diversity), M3 SegNet: A Multi-Modal and Multi-Branch Framework for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Segmentation in Radiotherapy Planning (2026, IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics), and Cmem Builder: An Automated Tool for Curved Membrane Construction in Molecular Dynamics Simulations (2025, Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation). Earlier works feature Inhalable Nanoparticle-based Dry Powder Formulations for Respiratory Delivery (2023), Evaluation of AlphaFold2 Structures for Hit Identification (2024), Digital Health Literacy and Health-Related Well-Being Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic (2021), Underdiagnosis of depression in an economically deprived elderly Chinese population (2016), and Potentially inappropriate prescribing and drug-drug interactions in older people (2013). With 123 research outputs comprising 101 articles, 15 review articles, and others, his work supports UN Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being. Tong's influence extends to 60 press and media coverages, including advocacy for comprehensive bans on e-smoking devices and enhanced tobacco control measures in Macau.
