Bulletin Spring‧Summer 1992

D r . Wo ng Chun-cheung Senior Lecturer in Physiology Dr. C.C. Wong was born in Guangzhou, China and received his primary and secondary education in Hong Kong. After graduating f r om the National Taiwan Normal University, he joined the Biology Department of The Chinese University in 1972 as a part-time demonstrator, and undertook M.Phil, studies in the endocrinology of the snake thyroid. On completion of his M.Phil, studies, Dr. Wong was awarded a scholarship by the German Academic Exchange Service to conduct further research in the clinical endocrinology unit of the Medical School of Hannover. His doctoral dissertation focused on factors accounting for the variation of hormone secretions in highly standardized laboratory holding animals. Dr. Wong joined this university as lecturer in physiology in 1982, and initiated research into the endocrinology of an experimental obesity animal model — the neonatal mono-sodium glutamate treated rat. He collaborated widely with colleagues in the departments o f anatomy, biochemistry, and biology for the project. In 1988, as a visiting scientist to the Department o f Genetics of the Hospital for the Sick Children in Toronto, Dr. Wong worked in Dr. Lap- chee Tsui's laboratory on techniques of molecular genetics. Upon his return to Hong Kong, the emphasis of his research has been shifted to molecular studies, and he is currently working on the effects of hormones on the expression of certain proto-oncogenes and the relationship between such genes and hormone actions.
