Ingrid Choong

Ingrid Choong brings over 15 years of experience within the biotechnology/pharmaceutical industry. Dr. Choong joined Eiger as a member of the founding team in 2008 as a Principal Scientist, responsible for lead identification and development of compounds targeting NS4B on the HCV genome. As the company shifted focus to its first orphan program in HDV, Dr. Choong was a key team member involved in agency interactions, clinical activities, investigator and KOL interactions, and scientific conferences. She was also an active member of the team involved in the diligence and licensing process, resulting in the addition of Post Bariatric Hypoglycemia and Lymphedema to our orphan disease pipeline. During the process of Eiger becoming a public company, Dr. Choong was a member of the roadshow team, interacting with investors, research analysts, and investment banks. She has continued to work in this capacity, and has earned the trust and respect of these important audiences. In the second half of 2017, in addition to investor relations and corporate development responsibilities, Ingrid led an internal and external cross-functional team that delivered a HDV briefing package to the FDA, setting the stage for a positive face to face meeting in February. Prior to joining Eiger, she was a senior scientist at Sunesis Pharmaceuticals from 1999 to 2008 identifying small-molecule inhibitors targeting protein-protein interactions.
