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.

Ageing is conventionally viewed as a wear-and-tear process, leading to the accumulation of damage in our cells and organs, which eventually results in illness and death. However, Professor Peter Lidsky put forward an alternative theory: that aging is an evolutionary programme designed to protect our species from the spread of infections.

Thank you to all who attended this KE Seminar, co-organised with the Sau Po Centre on Ageing, HKU. We hope you enjoyed the session, spent meaningful time engaging in discussions during the networking reception, and left inspired!
