Prof. NG Wai Lung Billy (B.Sc. 2010 / Ph.D. 2014)
Assistant Professor, School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
“I am very grateful for the patience and support of my teachers at CUHK Chemistry. The training that I recevied at CUHK had well-equipped me for my subsequent research journey in US & UK. It’s really my honor to serve my alma mater and to apply chemistry knowledge to understand biology and medicine.”
Dr. TAM Tin Lok Timothy (B.Sc. 1999 / M.Phil. 2001)
Chief Operation Officer, Ling Nam Medicine Factory
“The year I graduated coincided with the sea-change in Chinese medicine. The government started to regulate it, requiring the manufacturers to list the ingredients and their medicinal effects. The traditional industry had to look for chemistry personnel with laboratory testing experience to help with products quality control.”
