biography
Dr. Joyce Chan obtained her Bachelor of Medicine fromThe University of Southampton in 2002 and underwent surgical training in UK to obtainher MRCS (Edinburgh). She further obtained a Master in Surgical Science in 2008 and a PhD at Imperial College London in 2013. Her PhD work is in translational stroke prevention research using functional molecular magnetic resonance imaging technique. This work led to awards including the Best Scientific Paper in The Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland and in The Asian Society of Vascular Surgery in Taiwan; and grants from The European Society of Vascular Surgery, The Royal College of Surgeons of England.She is currently a Clinical Assistant Professor at Prince of Wales Hospital, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her research interests include development of theranostics and nanoparticles to target vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques, molecular imaging of vascular inflammation in atherosclerosis using MRI and iron oxide particles.
Area of Interest
Atherosclerosis, carotid artery disease, theranostics, nanoparticles, vulnerable plaques, molecular imaging, vascular inflammation, MRI, iron oxide particles, endothelial adhesion molecules, macrophages, stroke.
