Prof Kwok-Fai So is the Director of GHM Institute of CNS
Regeneration at Jinan University, Guangzhou, China; Chair of
Anatomy in the State Key Laboratory of Brain and Cognitive
Sciences, and the Department of Ophthalmology, Jessie Ho Professor
in Neuroscience, The University of Hong Kong, member of the Chinese
Academy of Sciences, member of the Advisory Committee, Ministry of
Education/ 2011 Program, member of Biolgical and Medicine Council/
Ministry of Education, member of Consultative Committee/ the
national 973 Program/ major national research funding program in
China, Director of China Spinal Cord Injury Network (ChinaSCINet),
Co-Chairman of the Board of Director of the ChinaSCINet, and
Editor-in-Chief of Neural Regeneration Research.
He received PhD degree from MIT. He is one of the pioneers in the
field of axonal regeneration in visual system. He was the first to
show lengthy regeneration of retinal ganglion cells in adult
mammals with peripheral nerve graft. He is currently using multiple
approaches to promote axonal regeneration in the optic nerve and
spinal cord. His team identifies neuroprotective and regenerative
factors including: exercise, wolfberry, trophic factors, peptide
nanofiber scaffold, and environmental manipulation. 1995 obtained
the Natural Science Award of the National Natural Science
Foundation of China. 1999 was elected Member of the Chinese Academy
of Sciences. 2015 was elected US National Academy of Invention
Fellow. 2017 elected a member of DABI (Dana Alliance for Brain
Initiatives). He is the author and co-author of over 440+
publications and co-inventor of 28 patents. Dr Sonata Suk-yu Yau is
currently working as an Assistant Professor in Department of
Rehabilitation Sciences at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong
Kong. She obtained her Bachelor degree in Biochemistry from the
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2005, followed by
a PhD degree in neuroscience in Department of Anatomy at The
University of Hong Kong (HKU) in 2009. She did her postdoctoral
training in Division of Medical Sciences at University of Victoria,
British Columbia, Canada with fellowship awarded by Canadian
Institute of Health Research and Fragile X Research Foundation of
Canada. She has been investigating the underlying mechanisms of
physical exercise-promoted brain health in animal models including
depression, diabetes. She also studies how hippocampal dysfunction
can lead to cognitive impairment in neurodevelopmental disorders
e.g. Fragile X Syndrome. She is interested in studying
pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to promote
brain functions using different diseased animal models. Her current
research projects are centered on understanding the underlying
mechanisms of physical exercise-induced brain health and examining
novel therapeutic treatments for promoting brain health in animal
models with neurological disorders.
