Biography (只提供英文版)

S H Ho Associate Professor of Life Science in Division of Life Science at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
Research interests include aging, muscle stem cells, single particle / molecule / cell studies, muscular dystrophy, and stem cell biology
RFS project — to explore the regulation of adult stem cell quiescence and activation through translational control, examine the translational control mechanisms that govern MuSC quiescence and exit, and investigate how dysregulation of their associated pathways contributes to MuSC aging. Completing this project will provide insights into the translational control mechanisms governing MuSC functions and highlight novel therapeutic targets to protect MuSCs against aging for better tissue health
Awards and Honours:
- RGC Research Fellow (2024)
- Croucher Innovation Award (2015)

Project Title (只提供英文版)

Post-transcriptional Regulation of Muscle Stem Cell Quiescence During Physiological Conditions and Aging

赞词

为了表彰张教授在干细胞老化，特别是他在揭示生理条件下和老化过程中肌肉干细胞静息的转录后调控机制的杰出贡献，研究资助局（研资局）颁发研资局研究学者计划奖项，以支持他继续进行研究。张教授实验室致力于了解老化如何影响肌肉干细胞的功能，以及这如何影响骨骼肌的平衡和修复。张教授实验室希望能研发恢复干细胞功能的干预措施，作为抗衰老疗法，从而提高生活质量、达至健康老龄化。张教授衷心感谢研资局颁发此奖项，让他和他的团队可以进一步研究肌肉干细胞老化。
