</p><p>Dr. Alan Siu-lun Wong
is an Assistant Professor of the School of Biomedical Sciences at the
University of Hong Kong (HKU). Before he joined HKU, he obtained his B.Sc. and
M.Phil. degrees in Biochemistry and Molecular Biotechnology from the Chinese
University of Hong Kong in 2005 and 2007 respectively, and completed his Ph.D.
in Biochemistry at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2011.
He joined the Synthetic Biology Group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
from 2012-2016 for postdoctoral training. Dr. Wong was awarded with the
Croucher Foundation Studentship (2008), the Butterfield-Croucher Award
(2008), the Croucher Foundation Fellowship (2012), and the Hong Kong Institution of Science Young Scientist Award in life science
(2011).</p>
Currently
<p>
</p><p>Dr. Wong's current
research focuses on developing and applying cutting-edge technologies for
studying complex disease biology and devise new therapeutic strategies. His
research takes an integrative approach leveraging on various techniques in
synthetic biology, CRISPR-based genome engineering, high-throughput sequencing,
molecular biology, and genetics to decode the complex genetic bases of human
diseases, as well as rationally design and engineer genetic circuits for
providing new biomedical and biotechnological solutions.</p>
