Instructors



Dr. Richard Kong

Dr. Richard Kong is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology and Chemistry at the City University of Hong Kong. His research interest is on the application of DNA-based technologies to develop novel risk assessment and bioremediation tools to address problems related to diverse aspects of pollution in the marine environment. He has played a major role in coordinating the iGEM Team at CityU, and providing the necessary guidance, training and support to all the iGEMers.

Dr. David , Sung-Kay Chiu

Dr. Chiu is an Assistant Professor of the Department of Biomedical Sciences at City University of Hong Kong. He is interesting in teaching students especially on technical skills in biomedical research. His research focuses on the mechanism of the choice in cell fates in mammalian cells and the cellular functions of transcription factor AP-4 during development and in cancers.

Dr. Terrence , C. K. Lau

Dr. Lau is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at City University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on the RNA biogenesis in infectious diseases, in particular those pathogens found in Hong Kong. He enjoys talking and asking questions about science. His role in iGEM team is to coordinate and provide support to the students.



Advisors



Wolf Cheung

Former Graduate Teaching Assistant

He has very broad research interest and occasionally jumps from one research area to an entirely unrelated one. His most recent switch is from environmental science to developmental biology. He spends most of his time in the lab(s) enjoying varieties of tea. He remains wathcing over the CityU iGEM team’s shoulder, in spite of his departure to a faraway land.

(BSc Hons)

I am currently a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the Dept of Biology and Chemistry at the City University of Hong Kong. This is the first time for CityU to participate in iGEM. iGEM participants can enrich their learning and discovery experience outside the classroom and appreciate how interesting and diverse science can be. Apart from providing technical support to the CityU iGEM team members, I have taken a special interest on the effectiveness of their learning progress. Whenever they encountered technical difficulties, I would help our with the technical details. Although synthetic biology is a new and challenging area of science, it is a worthwhile experience to explore the fascinating field of synthetic biology.
