I am now Professor and Director of Biochemistry Programme of School of Life Sciences of the Chinese University, Director of Li Dak Sum Yip Yio Chin R & D Centre for Chinese Medicine, Deputy Director of Institute of Chinese Medicine, Cabinet Member of the Chung Chi College and Master of the Postgraduate Halls. I have associated with this university for more than 30 years, first as a student at the Biology Department and then as an academic staff at the Biochemistry Department, with a few years off in between to pursue my Ph.D degree and postdoctoral training at the Imperial College, London, UK.

My training is in molecular biology and biotechnology. I have been teaching topics in these areas for several years. I have broad interest in scientific research, its applications and ethical issues and aim at promoting the advancement of science and technology in Hong Kong and China. At present, I also serve as Chairman of the Hong Kong Bioethics Association.

During my limited spare time, I still keep the hobbies of collecting stamps, growing orchids, reading, playing tennis and hiking. Life is busy!

In pace with the mighty activities of heaven, a gentleman strives unceasingly.
