PhD student Huajian gave an oral presentation on her research work at the HK Inter-U Postgraduate Symposium in Biochemcial Sciences held virtually on June 12, 2021 and secured one of the three Best Oral Presentation Awards!
PhD students JJ, Matthew and Jane also presented their work in the form of posters.
Day well spent learning about research postgraduate projects going on at HKU, CUHK and HKUST.
Well done everyone!
PhD student Jia Jian and Reseach Assistant Professor Carol shared their recent research stories at the 2021 SKLLR Symposium held on June 5th 2021. Click here for the program.
Ecstatic to have the opportunity to participate at the Keystone eSymposia on Cancer Stem Cells: Advances in Biology and Clinical Translation held May 19-21, 2021. Shared my group’s recent research progress on how the non-cellular components of the tumor microenvironment shapes cancer stemness in the liver; and learnt about the exciting new projects from others! Postdoc Lena and PhD student Huajian in the lab also shared their recent research findings in a short talk and poster abstract. Link to full program can be found here.
A symposia report is also now published:

Congrats to Jane on winning one of the three Best Presentation Awards at the State Key Laboratory of Liver Research (SKLLR) Internal Research Meeting held on November 28th 2020 at HKU. A morning well spent, learning about 13 interesting HCC related projects presented by PhDs and PDFs! Well done Jane 👍
July 18 2020 – This year’s State Key Laboratory of Liver Research (SKLLR) Annual Symposium was postponed again and again due to COVID-19. But despite all obstacles, the event was successfully held online through ZOOM on July 18th 2020. Our Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Tin-Lok Wong gave a presentation on his latest work “CRAF methylation by PRMT6 regulates aerobic glycolysis driven hepatocarcinogenesis via ERK-dependent PKM2 nuclear relocalization and activation” which was just published in the April 2020 issue of Hepatology.
Dec 9 to 12 2019 @ Awaji, Japan – Shared, learned, met new and caught up with old friends at the Cold Spring Harbor Asia 2019 Conference on Liver, Biology, Diseases and Cancer held in Awaji, Japan this year.
