Prof. Chan’s unique brain-based clinical approach is an integration of her enriched knowledge in brain science research and Chinese medical philosophy. She is especially interested in studying how the brain works in relation to various brain disorders and what effective brain-based training can enhance our cognitive functions and emotion. Her research has been published in top-ranking journals including Nature, Archive of Neurology, Cancer, Neuropsychology and Journal of Affective Disorder. Her earlier work was focused on a computational modelling predicting the cognitive deterioration of Alzheimer’s disease, and this line of research has earned her two awards from the American Psychological Association and the International Neuropsychology Association. Prof. Chan then continued to study the brain plasticity related to earlier life experience, and this theoretical model was published in Nature and then reported by New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, BBC and other media worldwide. In 2004, Professor Chan was awarded the Early Career Award by the American Psychological Association for her outstanding contribution to research and development in brain science. She was awarded the Outstanding Research Award by the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2011, and was also awarded as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons in Hong Kong in 2003.
