个人简介Prof. SO Hon Cheong (苏汉昌) received his Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree together with a PhD degree in 2012 from The University of Hong Kong (HKU). His PhD research focused on statistical and psychiatric genomics. He has received numerous awards for his academic achievement, including the Croucher Foundation Scholarship and the Dr. Stephen K.P. Chang Gold Medal for the best PhD thesis in the Faculty of Medicine, HKU. Prior to taking up the current academic post, he worked as a resident psychiatrist in Queen Mary Hospital and Castle Peak Hospital. He joined the School of Biomedical Sciences of The Chinese University of Hong Kong as an Assistant Professor in Jan 2016 and is also currently assistant professor (by courtesy) of the Department of Psychiatry, CUHK.
His main research interests include the development and application of novel statistical and computational methodologies to “omics” and clinical data in general. In particular, he is interested in uncovering the genetic architecture of complex diseases and predicting disease risk and phenotypes based on bioinformatics and clinical data. He has developed methodologies for evaluating the heritability explained by individual genetic variants and the entire set of markers on a genome-wide association study (GWAS) panel. He has also developed novel methods to combine genetic information with family history in improving risk prediction, as well as new ways to construct polygenic risk scores. He is one of the lead-authors in a schizophrenia GWAS in Chinese population, leading to discovery of a novel susceptibility loci on the X chromosome. His recent interest also includes bioinformatics approaches to repurposing drugs for new indications, and has developed several repurposing methodologies using GWAS and other “omics” data. His work has been published in major journals in the field, including first or corresponding papers in Nature Neuroscience, American Journal of Human Genetics, Plos genetics, Psychological Medicine, Bioinformatics etc. He was recently awarded the Young Researcher Award 2018 by CUHK for outstanding research achievements.
