Cheng Yin-chun, B.Sc. Graduate in Biomedical Sciences

After graduation from SBS in 2021, I started my M.Sc. in Clinical and Therapeutic Neuroscience at the University of Oxford. U.K. in the same year. I am grateful to have biomedical sciences as my undergraduate degree, which provides a solid foundation for my further studies. The courses in the B.Sc. in Biomedical Sciences Programme have equipped me with the important basic knowledge, facilitating me to pursue postgraduate education focusing on preclinical and clinical studies in neuroscience.

During my study at SBS, I had acquired essential laboratory experience and skills and built up teamwork abilities under the supervision of Prof. Andrew M. Chan in my final year project, and Prof. Kwan Yiu-wa in Summer Undergraduate Biomedical Research Attachment (SUBRA). The experience has greatly helped my two M.Sc. rotation projects on neuropathic pain and autism-associated gene. In October 2022, I will join Prof. Esther Becker’s Laboratory in the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford as a D.Phil. student, to investigate the role of metabotropic glutamate receptors in the cerebellum using the latest human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology and gene editing technology.

 

In the future, I would like to continue my research career in neuroscience and aspire to eventually develop my research group to investigate the neuroscience of mental health. Finally, I would like to thank the staunch support from the teachers and classmates at SBS during my undergraduate studies.
