Dr Terrence Lau received his PhD in biochemistry at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 1999. After receiving his PhD, he moved to United States and started his post-doctoral training at Prof. Gregory Van Duyne’s laboratory at University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), Philadelphia, where he developed his interest in the structure/function relationship of RNA/protein complex and their functional roles in the cell. He then joined the group of Prof. Gideon Dreyfuss at Howard Hughes Medical Institute (UPenn) and studied the relationship between the RNA biogenesis and the pathogenesis of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, one of the most common genetic diseases in U.S. He joined City University of Hong Kong and started his own laboratory in 2011.
