簡歷
張博士在香港浸會大學取得應用生物學理學學士學位,其後香港中文大學獲得基礎醫學哲學碩士學位,在修讀碩士課程期間,對癌症病理學進行了深入研究。張博士於英國倫敦大學學院取得神經科學哲學博士學位後,在澳洲悉尼Victor Chang心臟研究中心進行了第一個博士後研究工作,內容為骨骼肌幹細胞的再生機制。在加入香港理工大學之前,他曾在香港中文大學擔任博士後研究員,內容主要為神經系統以及肌肉細胞再生及發展。
張博士的研究範疇為細胞在不同分化階段和成熟時期的動態表達方式,組織損傷的病理生理學以及組織再生過程中的機制。他同時也在進行通過控制基因的表達方式了解基因功能的研究。目前,他正與其他科研人員緊密合作,進行基礎科學研究。
