Vice-Chancellor Professor Lap-Chee Tsui, who is already a world renowned geneticist, received two further exceptional honours in May.
He was conferred an honorary doctorate from Fudan University in Shanghai, at a ceremony officiated by the President of the University Professor Yang Yuliang. The ceremony was then followed by a lecture named ‘The genes of a scientist’ given by Professor Tsui.
Professor Tsui is grateful to be given the honour: “Shanghai is the place where I was born. After leaving for half a century and having travelled half the globe, I am home to be awarded this honorary doctorate. I am deeply pleased and honoured.”
In late May, when Western University (The University of Western Ontario) of Canada celebrated its 301ˢᵗ Convocation in Hong Kong, Professor Lap-Chee Tsui was also conferred an honorary degree, in recognition of his scientific achievements throughout the years.■
