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

讚詞

為了表彰張教授在幹細胞老化，特別是他在揭示生理條件下和老化過程中肌肉幹細胞靜息的轉錄後調控機制的傑出貢獻，研究資助局（研資局）頒發研資局研究學者計劃獎項，以支持他繼續進行研究。張教授實驗室致力於了解老化如何影響肌肉幹細胞的功能，以及這如何影響骨骼肌的平衡和修復。張教授實驗室希望能研發恢復幹細胞功能的干預措施，作為抗衰老療法，從而提高生活質量、達至健康老齡化。張教授衷心感謝研資局頒發此獎項，讓他和他的團隊可以進一步研究肌肉幹細胞老化。
