BSc (Hons, CUHK), MPhil (HKBU), PhD (UC Berkeley)

​助理教授

個人簡介

Prof. Chung is an exposure biologist with a PhD degree in Environmental Health Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley. At the Berkeley Center for Exposure Biology, he developed innovative methods for assessing human exposure to reactive chemicals. After graduation, Prof. Chung received training in exposomics at the National Taiwan University and the Duke Kunshan University before further specialization in environmental health and biomedical data sciences at Harvard Medical School. His central research goal is to develop and apply measurement and computational methods to identify the elusive environmental drivers of diseases and decipher their intricate connections within the exposure-disease continuum.

 

Prof. Chung has published in leading environmental journals such as Environmental Health Perspectives and Environmental Science & Technology, and was interviewed by news and magazine journalists regarding his investigations. He was also invited to Sweden to conduct a technology transfer of one of his innovative assays. In addition, he has served as a grant reviewer for the Medical Research Council, UK and as an article reviewer for several international journals, including Lancet Planetary Health and Environment International.
