  • Fellowship in 1983 at University College London

Director of GHM Institute of CNS Regeneration at Jinan University, Guangzhou, China; Chair of Anatomy in the State Key Laboratory of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, and the Department of Ophthalmology Jessie Ho Professor in Neuroscience, The University of Hong Kong (http://www.eyeinst.hku.hk/Prof_So.htm); member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Co-Chairman of the Board of Director of the ChinaSCINet (www.chinascinet.org ), and Editor-in-Chief of Neural Regeneration Research (www.nrronline.org ). Received PhD degree from MIT. He is one of the pioneers in the field of axonal regeneration in visual system. He was the first to show lengthy regeneration of retinal ganglion cells in adult mammals with peripheral nerve graft. He is currently using multiple approaches to promote axonal regeneration after injury in the optic nerve and spinal cord. His team identifies neuroprotective and regenerative factors including: exercise, wolfberry, trophic factors, peptide nanofiber scaffold, and environmental manipulation. 1995 obtained the Natural Science Award of the National Natural Science Foundation of China. 1999 was elected Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. 2015 was elected US National Academy of Invention Fellow. 2017 elected a member of DABI (Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives, www.dana.org ). He is the author and co-author of over 450+ publications ( http://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=SUPKYiQAAAAJ&view_op=list_works )

; co-inventors of 46 patents.
