Professor Doris Yu Sau-fung ( 余秀鳳 ) joined the School of Nursing as Professor in January 2020. She has been working in the nursing academic field for over 15 years and has a track record in research and postgraduate education leadership in an institution funded by the University Grant Council (HKSAR). She sees nursing as a unique profession for promoting public health and advancing the quality of healthcare systems. As a nursing academician, she has a strong drive to contribute to the betterment of Hong Kong and beyond, which she does by promoting excellence in nursing education and generating high-quality research to inform healthcare practices. In line with HKU’s goals of internationalisation, innovation and interdisciplinarity, her work has enhanced the contributions of the nursing profession to global health outcomes. microfluidics, mathematical modelling, and deep learning to characterise biological process at both population and single virus and single-cell levels. He has previously studied the herpes virus, influenza virus, Zika virus and human immune-deficient virus, currently shifting his interest to the coronavirus, Epstein-Barr Virus, and hepatitis B virus. He uses a systems approach to define viral host interactions, both in vitro and in vivo, with quantitative measurements incorporated in deep learning. Similar strategies will be developed to address fundamental questions in cell biology, including controlling of gene expression, cell cycling and differentiation. Recently, his team developed a method that generates a functional map of an entire viral genome at single-nucleotide resolution. This method lays the foundation for comprehensively defining virus-host interactions and enables rational vaccine design and drug development.
