<p>Dr. King Ming Chan is an Associate Professor of School of Life Sciences and Director of Environmental Science Program, Faculty of Science, Chinese University. His research focuses on Aquatic Toxicology and Molecular Endocrinology using fish models. Recent studies are mainly on transgenic fish over-expressing somatolactin hormone for functional study and use of biomarkers of exposures to study the risk of environmental contaminants including pesticides, trace organics, nanoparticles, and metal ions in waters. Dr. Chan also studies the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression and transcription, focusing on understanding how metal-regulatory-element-binding transcription factors (MTFs) control metallothionein genes and how Pit-1s control pituitary polypeptide hormone genes.</p> | <p>Dr. King Ming Chan is an Associate Professor of School of Life Sciences and Director of Environmental Science Program, Faculty of Science, Chinese University.

<p>Hey everyone, I’m Jacky. Some of you might have heard of me before. Yep, I have taken part in iGEM Hong Kong-CUHK team last year. I have done my final year undergraduate study and I’m now doing my graduate research, specializing on bio-sensor and cancer-related. My personal dream is to meet friends from everywhere of the world, learn the culture, know their stories, and experience their lives. If you share the same interest, welcome to find me anytime! Surely, my previous dream is still a dream. Go click this website to take a look on what my previous dream is! | <p>Hey everyone, I’m Jacky. Some of you might have heard of me before.

<p>Hi, I’m Brian from biochemistry of CUHK, one of the instructors of our iGEM team this year. I’m so glad to be one part of the competition this year and I would like to make friends with you. iGEM is so interesting that we can realize our own dream with magic bacteria during the competition. Hopefully we could share fascinating ideas through this competition.</p> | <p>Hi, I’m Brian from biochemistry of CUHK, one of the instructors of our iGEM team this year.

Chinese University of Hong Kong iGEM 2011
Prof. Chan Ting Fung
Dr. Ting-Fung Chan is an Assistant Professor in the School of Life Sciences, and the Deputy Director of the Centre for Microbial Genomics and Proteomics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is the Coordinator of the iGEM CUHK team. Research mainly focuses in genomics and bioinformatics of microbial pathogens and complex human phenotypes. He enjoys talking about science, but even more so for toys: Mindstorms NXT, RX-178, 5D Mk-II, LX200-ACF, YAS-875EX, and iGEM. Wishing his students would comprehend the fun and excitement of all aforementioned, but if that is not possible then at the very least, iGEM.
Prof. Chan King Ming
Dr. King Ming Chan is an Associate Professor of School of Life Sciences and Director of Environmental Science Program, Faculty of Science, Chinese University. His research focuses on Aquatic Toxicology and Molecular Endocrinology using fish models. Recent studies are mainly on transgenic fish over-expressing somatolactin hormone for functional study and use of biomarkers of exposures to study the risk of environmental contaminants including pesticides, trace organics, nanoparticles, and metal ions in waters. Dr. Chan also studies the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression and transcription, focusing on understanding how metal-regulatory-element-binding transcription factors (MTFs) control metallothionein genes and how Pit-1s control pituitary polypeptide hormone genes.

Hi, I’m Brian from biochemistry of CUHK, one of the instructors of our iGEM team this year. I’m so glad to be one part of the competition this year and I would like to make friends with you. iGEM is so interesting that we can realize our own dream with magic bacteria during the competition. Hopefully we could share fascinating ideas through this competition.
