个人简介Prof. KWAN Yiu Wa (关耀华) obtained his Bachelor degree (Hons) from the Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics of The Liverpool University (UK), and his PhD degree in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology of The Strathclyde University (Glasgow, Scotland) after he received a scholarship from the Croucher Foundation. He went on to have his post-doctoral training, with the supports of the American Heart Association (USA), under Professor R.S. Kass (University of Rochester New York, New York, USA) prior to joining The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is a pharmacologist by training, and his main research interests are related to the pharmacology of different drugs in treating metabolic and vascular diseases e.g. type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis and pulmonary hypertension. He also has research interests in the utilization of alternative / un-conventional approaches such as recombinant probiotics in treating various diseases.
