Statement of Purpose to Join the Forum (max. 200 words)

As a former postdoctoral fellow major in biomedical sciences, specializing in cellular mechanotransduction, and now working as an honorary research associate of HKU and a scientific research manager of CRRIST, I'm eager to take part in the Hong Kong Laureate Forum. This forum brings together Fields Medalists, and top scientific experts. It offers a one-of-a-kind platform for sharing knowledge and doing cross-disciplinary teamwork, which is extremely valuable in the scientific world.
My research, driven by a strong passion for understanding how cells react to mechanical signals, has already helped projects with important medical applications. By attending the forum, I'm set on having deep and detailed discussions, broadening my knowledge, and sharing my unique research experiences. I'm very sure that my participation will not only open up new research paths in biomedicine but also let me contribute a lot to the global scientific community's joint efforts to improve human health.

Abstract of Research / Brief Description of Your Current Research Interest (max. 200 words)

My research centers on stem cell biology. The exploration of stem cell mechanisms holds the potential to contribute to the treatment of degenerative diseases. In addition, the integration of knowledge about mechanical transduction is underway. Wearable devices currently under development may utilize this knowledge to promote stem cell differentiation. They could potentially trigger the body's endogenous regenerative processes. This convergence of stem cell biology and mechanotransduction through wearable technology may enhance the efficacy of stem cell-based therapeutic strategies.
