Yuk–ming Dennis Lo awarded Honorary Doctorate

We are absolutely delighted for our Honorary Fellow Professor Yuk–ming Dennis Lo, who has been nominated for a University of Cambridge Doctorate in Medical Sciences. His research into methods to discovering free fetal DNA in maternal blood, is internationally recognised for its development of non–invasive prenatal tests. His work has also discovered free DNA as a non–invasive biomarker, to detect other diseases like cancer.

He studied with us as an undergraduate between 1983 and 1986, before moving to the University of Oxford to specialise in Pathology. He is currently Li Ka Shing Professor of Medicine, and Vice–Chancellor and President of The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
