Biography

I worked on the discovery of new drugs targeting influenza virus ribonucleoprotein complex during my doctoral study at CUHK. After graduation, I pursued another MA degree in Philosophy at CUHK. Apart from my academic interest in science, I enjoy reading and learning about things I am unfamiliar with. I also engage in the promotion of Cantonese.
