Prof. WONG Man-sau Professor Director of Research Centre for Chinese Medicine Innovation Research Overview My research focuses on studying the health benefits and mechanisms of actions of nutrients, phytochemicals and Chinese herbal medicine, especially for the management of bone health. My research interests include the use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis; the study of the molecular actions of bone protective phytochemicals; the regulation of vitamin D and Ca metabolism by hormone and dietary factors; the mechanisms of actions of TCM-derived phytoestrogens in achieving tissue selectivity; drug-herbs interactions between the use of selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) and Chinese medicine used for the management of menopausal syndromes as well as the role of gut microbiota in mediating the therapeutic actions of Chinese medicine. The goal of my research work is to support the development of scientific/ evidence-based functional food and TCM-derived product.
