Professor S. K. Chung is currently Professor at the Faculty of Medicine, Macau University of Science & Technology (M.U.S.T). She serve as a Hon. Professor to the School of Biomedical Sciences at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). She is also an Honorary Professor at the Air Force Military Medical University in Xian, China; Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University, United International College in Zhuhai, China, and Chung-Nam Medical University in Daejeon, South Korea. She was a NIH Postdoctoral Fellow at the Northwestern Medical School and won the prestigious fellowship from Winston Foundation and worked at The Rockefeller University in New York, U.S.A. before moving to the Institute of Molecular Biology at HKU in 1991. Her research is notable for its powerful impact in several fields of medicine and science. The originality of her research is based on her great ability to generate and phenotype transgenic and knockout mice simulating a battery of human diseases. Her publications have appeared in top-tier journals, and she served as editorial board member and reviewers of numerous journals and grants. She delivered numerous invited lectures globally and served as a committee members of International Symposiums. She was also active in postgraduate teaching, and served as a member of Higher Degree Committee at HKU. Indicative of her great teaching acumen, students whom she has trained have won numerous awards and hold Professorships. Professor Chung has taught Histology at HKU for MBBS, TCM, Nursing, Biomedical Sciences, and Biomedical Engineering students for 28yrs. She was the coordinator for Histology practical at HKU. Currently, she teaches Histology combined with Pathology at the Medical Faculty of Macao University of Science & Technology.
