Professor TAM has been working in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology for more than 30 years. He has developed his interest and expertise in the management of high-risk obstetrics and maternal medicine. He is currently responsible for the Maternal Medicine team caring pregnant women complicated by various medical diseases, in particular hypertension, diabetes mellitus, thyroid dysfunction, renal disease, obstetric antiphospholipid syndromes, and other autoimmune disease complicating pregnancy. He was also responsible in the set up of Maternity Special Care bed caring women requiring High Dependency Care in the labour ward at the Prince of Wales Hospital. He was responsible for the 2 commissioned trainings on “Maternal Medicine” and “Critical Care in Obstetrics” in 2013 and 2015, respectively for the Hospital Authority, which involved continued professional development and training by reputable overseas experts in Obstetric Medicine, Maternal and Fetal Medicine and Critical care. In 2020, Professor TAM also run a preconception counselling clinic providing women at reproductive age suffered from complicated medical problems or conditions for pre-pregnancy advice and management.

Research experience:
Professor TAM has 20-year experience on long term follow up study on mother-child dyad. He was principal investigator of Hong Kong study centre in the multicentre HAPO follow up study, which supported by NICHD & NIH. The development of this multicentre study had been based on his research work on the follow up of HAPO mothers and children in Hong Kong.
Professor TAM is the principal investigator on a project in setting up gestational age specific thyroid function test reference range in 2016. The reference ranges reported in a recent publication was adopted by HA COC (Pathology) and implemented for all public hospitals in Hong Kong. 
His current research theme is on the impact of maternal health and maternal microbiome on the early life microbiome development and the long-term health of the offspring i.e. our next generation.
Professor TAM’s research also covered on maternal nutrition. He has recently completed a research work contracted by the Non-Communicable Disease Branch of Centre for Health Protection on the territory wide survey on iodine status of pregnant women and lactating mothers.
