Productive time bringing our team to Singapore. We had fantastic meetings with the University of Nottingham and A*STAR to explore a new platform for multinational analyses. Also had excellent discussions at NTU regarding future family medicine and primary care research collaborations. Wrapped up this great work trip by catching up with old friends and treating the team to an amazing Alaskan King Crab dinner by the water! 🦀 Exciting times ahead with upcoming trips to Melbourne, Auckland, and Toronto! ✈️🚀

Researchers from HKUMed found that the Chronic Disease Co-Care Pilot Scheme is highly effective for chronic disease control,with early identification of underdiagnosed conditions ensuring patients access to appropriate treatment.

With our study now published in @CommsMedicine, happy to revisit an earlier Oriental Daily News on why morning chronotype may be linked to lower breast cancer risk, and why this matters for people with irregular schedules.

Published earlier this year in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, this study extends our Lancet Healthy Longevity work on metformin targets and healthy ageing, we found genetic evidence suggesting a possible protective effect on colorectal cancer.

New study out @ATHjournal.
Inspired by AEGIS-II, we asked whether LDL-C modifies the cardiovascular effects of ApoA-I. We found little evidence of effect modification, highlighting the challenges of causal inference in subgroup analyses.

Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to Hong Kong’s first large-scale whole-genome sequencing initiative and its vision for population-scale precision medicine. It has been a privilege to learn from and collaborate with this exceptional multidisciplinary team.
Part of the Hong Kong Genome Project, genomic analyses of over 20,000 participants provide information on clinically relevant variants for Chinese populations and offer insights on the implementation of genomic medicine initiatives.

Proud to have led this work with an outstanding multidisciplinary team.
Researchers from @hkumed have found that using a commonly used pain killer (paracetamol or acetaminophen) during pregnancy does not increase the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention‑deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.
This represents the first study in Hong Kong to apply a rigorous sibling-matched approach to compare siblings from the same mother to effectively account for shared genetic and environmental influences. The findings, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, offer timely reassurance for expectant mothers and clinicians in Hong Kong and globally regarding the safety of paracetamol use during pregnancy.

Delighted to share our study, supported by @wcrfint and now published in @CommsMedicine.
We integrated genetic, proteomic, breast cancer and single-cell data to investigate biological pathways linking morning chronotype with breast cancer risk.
