Early Life
Lisa Fong Poh Ng was born as the eldest of two daughters to a father who is a contractor and a mother who is a teacher. In 1989, she enrolled in a biotechnology course at the Singapore Polytechnic after her completion of GCE O levels at Marymount Convent. Her family considered polytechnic studies to be second-rate and did not believe it would help her get into a university afterwards. Lisa pursued a course that would allow her to involve herself in scientific research immediately. She completed her polytechnic studies with good grades but was unable to secure a place at the National University of Singapore afterwards.

Education
In 1995, Lisa graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Biochemistry from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology in the United Kingdom. In 2002, she earned her PhD in Molecular Virology from the National University of Singapore. That same year, she joined the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) as a postdoctoral fellow where she contributed the development of a framework to deliver broad-range capability for preparedness for viral diseases including influenza, SARS, hepatitis, and vector-borne diseases.
