Speaker

Ho Ko is a clinician-scientist at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). He holds medical degree from CUHK, and a PhD from University College London (UCL). In his early career, he advanced our understanding of the physical basis of sensory perception by uncovering several fundamental rules governing the connections between neurons. After medical training, he established his lab and shifted his research focus from studying the neural basis of information processing, to its preservation in diseases. His current research combines preclinical and clinical approaches to investigate the molecular and neural circuit mechanisms underlying nervous system dysfunction in aging and neurodegeneration, with the aim of guiding the development of disease-modifying therapeuticsy.
