Chak Foon Matthew Tso 曹澤寬

  • Fellowship in 2018 at University of California, Berkeley

Matt Tso is an old boy of Queen's College, Hong Kong. He received his B.S. in Molecular Biology (Honors in Major) from University of Wisconsin-Madison; and Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Washington University in St. Louis. As a graduate student with Dr. Erik Herzog, he demonstrated the astrocytes in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). are functional circadian oscillators. Moreover, he showed that astrocytes are an integral part of the SCN circuit -- determining the period in circadian rhythms at both network and behavioral levels. As a Croucher Fellow, he worked in Dr. Yang Dan's group at UC-Berkeley/HHMI on neural circuits controlling sleep and wake. He was also an Insight Data Science Fellow. 

Currently

Matt Tso is a clinical informatics machine learning engineer at Dascena, Inc.
