Prof. Hannah Xiaoyan HUI obtained her B.Sc. (First Class Honours) in Biotechnology from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and completed her Ph.D. study in Shanghai Institute of Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SIBS, CAS). She then pursued her postdoctoral training at Department of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong and was later took up her post as Research Assistant Professor at the same department. In 2021, she joined the School of Biomedical Sciences, the Chinese University of Hong Kong as Assistant Professor.
The research interest of Dr. Hui lies solely on Adipose Tissue – a highly plastic organ in our body. We are using genetically engineered mouse models, primary cells/tissues and human iPS-derived adipocytes as model systems. By adopting state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary approaches, the goal of our laboratory is to understand the molecular basis of adipose tissue remodelling and its physiological relevance in obesity and cardio-metabolic diseases. Ultimately we seek to develop biomedicine that can “re-educate” the adipose tissue.
Prof. Hui is the principal investigator of research grants including General Research fund (GRF), Health and Medical Research Fund (HMRF) and NSFC (Young Excellent Scientist). Her research work has been published in top-ranked journals including Cell Metab, J Clin Invest, EMBO rep, Diabetes, Brit J Pharmacol. She also receives awards such as National Science and Technology Progress Award (2020).
