🧠🎨 Join us for "Vitruvian Bridge: Arts x Science Minds 2025"!

Continuing the creative vision of DnAesthetics, this exhibition bridges arts and sciences, focusing on the brain, nervous system, and emotions. After months of collaboration and exchanges, artworks celebrating this interdisciplinary dialogue come to life at Sai Wan Ho Civic Centre from Nov 14 to Dec 31.

Highlighting the work of Professor Cora Lai, the project explores how art and science intertwine to reveal the interconnectedness of mind, nerves, and feelings—an aesthetically moving journey.

Don't miss the public and school workshops! Free admission.

🚨 Breakthrough in gastric cancer research! A recent study led by Professor Alan Wong Siu-lun, Professor Leung Suet-yi, Chairperson of the Department of Pathology, and Professor Helen Yan from the same department, uncovered how nerves in the digestive system promote tumour growth via lipid metabolism. By targeting cholesterol pathways, they slowed tumour growth by 65% and increased cancer cell death by over 6 times. This discovery opens new avenues for personalised therapies.

由 #港大醫學院生物醫學學院副教授黃兆麟教授聯同臨床醫學學院病理學系系主任、腸胃癌基因組學講座教授、簡悅威基金教授（自然科學）梁雪兒教授，以及同系助理教授甄凱寧教授共同領導的研究，揭示了消化系統中的腸神經元如何促使腫瘤依賴脂質來維持生長。透過抑制膽固醇代謝途徑，腫瘤生長速度可降低約65％，並且能使癌細胞的殺滅效果提升6.3倍。這項發現為未來開發個人化胃癌治療提供了新的可能性。詳情請參閱《細胞–幹細胞》期刊︰https://www.cell.com/cell-stem-cell/fulltext/S1934-5909(25)00298-X

Led by Prof. Martin Cheung, new research uncovers how genetic disruptions in neural crest cells can cause birth defects like cleft lip and palate🧬. This breakthrough could lead to improved prenatal tests and early interventions. The findings, published in 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, may pave the way for future gene-editing therapies to prevent such conditions before birth. 👶For more: https://bit.ly/47H2mM6

由香港大學李嘉誠醫學院生物醫學學院教授張知恒領導的研究團隊揭示🧬，神經脊細胞在臉部、顱骨及神經系統形成中扮演重要角色，並在早期容易受到遺傳干擾，導致唇顎裂等先天性畸形。研究有助解釋基因錯誤如何引發缺陷，並促進先進的產前基因檢測與基因編輯技術的發展，以在胎兒未出生前預防相關畸形👶。研究已發表於《自然—通訊》。有關研究的更多資訊，請查閱︰ https://bit.ly/47H2mM6

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Jhoram, and I'm excited to be part of the . Currently, I am a lecturer in . However, I wear a few hats in my professional journey. I'm a physician and nurse 🩺 with a background in biology 🧬, but my real passion is medical education 📚.

For the past 20 years, I've taught students in medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, and biomedical sciences across the Philippines 🇵🇭, Malaysia 🇲🇾, and Canada 🇨🇦, covering various subjects like anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and clinical skills.
I also hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Education from the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, which allowed me to gain Fellowship in Advanced HE. My interests include Technology-Enhanced Education 💻, Equity 🌍, and Learners' Wellbeing 💖, and Transnational Education 🌐.

Outside work, I love karaoke, watercolour painting, and reading. I'm more of an introvert who enjoys a relaxed environment, and my greatest joys are moments spent with my wife and daughter.
