簡介
Dr. Way Lau is an Assistant Professor and a transdisciplinary scientist in the Department of Special Education and Counselling at the Education University of Hong Kong. He completed his Ph.D. in biomedical sciences in the Department of Medicine and did his postdoctoral training in the Departments of Psychiatry and Psychology at the University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on studying mechanisms of psychological resilience in non-clinical samples and students with special educational needs. He is also interested in identifying biomarkers of neurological disorders using molecular and system neurosciences techniques as well as psychobiological approaches.
