Biography

Dr. Jada Chia Di Lee (李嘉玓) received her B.Sc. in Human Biology from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. She further pursued her postgraduate studies of MMedSc and PhD specializing in Neuroscience at the Department of Anatomy, The University of Hong Kong. After graduation, Dr. Lee continued her research work at Department of Ophthalmology, HKU as a postdoctoral fellow. Before joining CUHK as assistant lecturer, she was a researcher concentrating in behavioural neuroscience of major depressive disorder. Her research interests include exploring the neurological basis of depression symptoms particularly on psychomotor retardation and cognitive dysfunction in relations with neurogenesis and the mechanisms underlying the respective treatments. She has been engaged in teaching human anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology and bioethics. .
