Prof. Hon Fai CHAN, another brilliant faculty member of our Institute, pursued his M.S. and Ph.D. degree at Duke University with the support of the Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fellowships for Overseas Studies, and later joined Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a postdoctoral associate.

Currently, he focuses on the research on 1) Microfabrication approach for liver tissue engineering; 2) Development of biomimetic biomaterial for tissue engineering and 3D microphysiological tissue model; 3) Biomechanics of organ/tissue development.

You may see his recent publications for exposure and ideas on the areas of research you find interesting and innovative.
