Associate Professor in Division of Life Science at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
Research focuses on the intrinsic mechanisms regulating axonal regeneration and functional repair after central nervous system injuries
RFS project — to study the function of axonal pathways to regenerate and repair damaged neural circuits after spinal cord injury, and aims to enhance functional recovery by combining various strategies and gain a deeper understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in nerve fiber regeneration and functional connectivity. Successful completion of this project will improve our understanding of the fundamental processes that promote functional connectivity after central nervous system injury
Awards and Honours:
- RGC Research Fellow (2024)
- Elected member of the Hong Kong Young Academy of Sciences (YASHK) (2020)
- Named Professorship, Cheng Associate Professor of Science (2019)

Enhance Locomotor Recovery by Transforming a Complete Spinal Cord Injury into an Incomplete Injury

赞词

脑部或脊髓损伤等神经损伤引起严重且持久的神经功能缺损。神经的成功再生和重新形成连结有可能恢复失去的功能。我们先前在视神经损伤和再生方面的工作带来了一种促进轴突再生和神经功能恢复的新方法。我们现在将把这些知识和方法应用于脊髓损伤。我们最近的研究表明，脊髓完全损伤后，多个下行运动神经纤维束可以再生穿过损伤部位。这些令人兴奋的发现为研究脊髓损伤后神经纤维再生和修复受损神经环路的功能提供了机会。我们的目标是透过联合各种策略增强功能恢复，并更深入地了解参与神经纤维再生和功能连接的细胞和分子机制。此专案的成功完成将增进我们对中枢神经系统损伤后促进功能连结基本过程的理解。
