Susan Lim is a Singaporean surgeon who performed the first successful liver transplant in Asia.[1]
She was born in Singapore, where she was educated at Singapore Chinese Girls' School and the Raffles Institution.[2] In 1974, she was awarded a scholarship under the Colombo Plan to study medicine at Monash University in Australia.[3]
In 2003, Dr Lim launched her own biotechnology company, Stem Cell Technologies. [1]
In 2004, Dr Lim was installed as Fellow of Trinity College at the University of Melbourne, Australia. She is the youngest fellow and first Singaporean to be conferred this honour. [2]
Dr Lim established together with her husband, Deepak Sharma, and friend, Satpal Khattar, the Indiapore Trust with the aim of providing assistance to underprivileged children from countries in the region. The first Singapore charity to be supported by the Indiapore Trust, through a donation of $50,000, was the Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund, which assists struggling parents to meet their children's school expenses. To date, the Trust has donated a science laboratory to the Raffles Junior College, and provided scholarships to underprivileged children in Singapore and India. [3]
Wax figures of Dr Lim's hands are part of the display at Madame Tussaud's Exhibition in Singapore.[5]
Dr Susan Lim sits on the Global Advisory Council of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) 2011. [4]
