where he introduced a programme leading to the Bachelor of Human Movement Science. For four years Dr. Shuttleworth left the academia to work as general manager of the New Zealand H i l l a ry Commission, a government organization to coordinate national services in relation to the arts, sports, recreation, tourism and the environment. In this job, he introduced many innovative programmes, which covered preventive health care, community education and development, ethnic minority culture, physical recreation for women and the disabled, sports science and technology research, drug abuse management, and lifestyle management. Since returning to the academic environment Dr. Shuttleworth has continued his research into the management of preventive health care delivery systems; the management of sport, recreation, tourism and physical education agencies; the impact of political ideology on government mass-sport systems; and factors influencing youth participation in sport, particularly in Hong Kong. Dr. Shuttleworth is married, with four children. In his leisure time, he enjoys music, theatre-going, outdoor physical recreation and high-performance sport. D r . Nicholas W i c k h am Senior Lecturer in Clinical Oncology Dr. Wickham received undergraduate training in internal medicine at Cambridge University, and later decided to specialize in clinical haematology and bone marrow transplantation. He has since gained extensive experience in this field working at various hospitals, including the Hammersmith Hospital, the Royal Marsden Hospital, and St. George's Hospital in London, as well as the University of Minnesota Hospital and Clinic at Minneapolis, USA. His research interests include the vascular biology of the vessel wall, with particular reference to mechanisms involved in the production of blood clots and inflammation. As these fundamental disease processes may be closely related to how cancer spreads through the body, they also form the basis of Dr. Wickham's future research projects, which will include mechanisms of normal and abnormal cellular growth in the bone marrow. Upon joining The Chinese University, Dr. Wickham helped set up a High Dose Therapy Unit at the Prince of Wales Hospital to provide a new treatment for local cancer patients. By using a technique known as peripheral blood stem-cell harvesting and autografting, patients can be given higher, and potentially more curative doses of chemotherapy without having to suffer many of the bone marrow toxic side-effects that would normally result. This procedure is now gaining increasing support from other centres around the world and will be one o f the major innovations in cancer chemotherapy available at the Prince of Wales Hospital. Dr. Wickham enjoys diving as well as playing both classical and jazz music on the piano. M r s . K i m - H o ng T .
