Associate Professor Jackie Ho Pei is currently a Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon, and the Director of Endovascular Therapy at the Department of Cardiac, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS) in National University Heart Centre, Singapore (NUHCS).
Her academic interest is focused on arterial occlusive disease and aneurysm, especially endovascular treatment for these pathologies.
A/Prof Jackie Ho graduated from the University of Hong Kong (MB, BS) in 1995 with Distinction in Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Pharmacology and Microbiology. She received training in both open surgery and endovascular intervention for Vascular Surgery in Queen Mary Hospital, University of Hong Kong Medical Centre, and became a specialist in 2002. She was a visiting scholar and clinical instructor to the Stanford University, Palo Alto from September 2006 to March 2007. She joined NUHS in July 2007. She was awarded the International Scholarship given by the US Society for Vascular Surgery in year 2010 for her outstanding clinical and academic achievements. She is currently the Director Endovascular Therapy for the division.
She is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, College of Surgeons of Hong Kong and, a member of the Western Vascular Society (USA) and the Asian Surgical Association
