Research Interests
Precision medicine is an emerging form of disease prediction, diagnosis, and prevention that uses genetics, biomarkers, and other personalized information to deliver the right treatment, to the right person, at the right time. As the underlying cause of disease could be different among patients, the use of Precision Medicine should both improve patient outcomes and deliver benefits to the health service, based on patient's individualized makeup. In addition, the use of information from research of precision medicine can also lead to new drug and biomarker discovery.
Currently, there are several strategic areas under the supervision of Dr. Cheung, including osteoporosis and sarcopenia, other endocrine disorders, and cancer.
