個人簡介

Prof. CHAN Sun-On Hector (陳新安) graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong with a BSc (First Hons) degree in Biology, and a MPhil degree in the Department of Anatomy. He was awarded the Croucher Foundation Scholarship to study for a DPhil degree in Neuroscience at The University of Oxford, under supervision of Prof. Ray Guillery. After graduation, he returned to Hong Kong and started to serve in the Department of Anatomy (now School of Biomedical Sciences) as a lecturer, Associate Professor and Professor. His major research interests are on the development of visual pathway and recently mechanisms of ocular inflammation and its protection.


Prof. Chan serves a leading role in education in the Faculty of Medicine and the New Asia College. He is currently Assistant Dean (Education) and Chairman of Preclinical Education Committee in Faculty of Medicine, and Associate Director (Undergraduate Education) in the School of Biomedical Sciences. He also serves the College under capacity of Associate Head and Dean of General Education.
