Dr. Michael Huen is Professor of the School of Biomedical Sciences and Assistant Dean (Innovation and Technology) of the LKS Faculty of Medicine at The University of Hong Kong. He majored in biochemistry at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and received his doctorate degree at the University of Hong Kong in 2006 studying bacteriophage-mediated DNA recombination. He later trained with Prof. Junjie Chen at Mayo Clinic / Yale University where he developed an interest for DNA damage detection and repair control in mammalian cells.
