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:

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

讚詞

腦部或脊髓損傷等神經損傷引起嚴重且持久的神經功能缺損。神經的成功再生和重新形成連結有可能恢復失去的功能。我們先前在視神經損傷和再生方面的工作帶來了一種促進軸突再生和神經功能恢復的新方法。我們現在將把這些知識和方法應用於脊髓損傷。我們最近的研究表明，脊髓完全損傷後，多個下行運動神經纖維束可以再生穿過損傷部位。這些令人興奮的發現為研究脊髓損傷後神經纖維再生和修復受損神經環路的功能提供了機會。我們的目標是透過聯合各種策略增強功能恢復，並更深入地了解參與神經纖維再生和功能連接的細胞和分子機制。此專案的成功完成將增進我們對中樞神經系統損傷後促進功能連結基本過程的理解。
