个人简介
Widely known among specialists in infectious diseases, Professor Yuen made his mark in 2003 when the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, gripped the globe. He played a key role in the discovery of the agent causing SARS, the SARS coronavirus, thus leading to measures that were crucial to containing the outbreak of this disease. He has also led his team in the discovery of other disease agents, including the novel Human Coronavirus HKU1, the bat SARS related coronavirus which is ancestrally related to SARS-Coronavirus-1 and SARS-Coronavirus-2, bat coronavirus HKU4/5 which is related to Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and the porcine Coronavirus HKU15 which is related to the porcine deltacoronavirus reported in 2021 of jumping into human. He has published extensively in the area of coronaviruses, influenza and other emerging virus infection. The University of Hong Kong appointed to him the Henry Fok Professorship of Infectious Diseases in 2005. The Ministry of Science and Technology of China has given the honour of the State Key Laboratory of Emerging Infectious Diseases – the first State Key Laboratory outside the Mainland, to HKU in recognition of its exemplary contributions this area and Professor Yuen has been the first co-director of this laboratory. The HKSAR government has also honoured his contributions with the award of a Silver and Gold Bauhinia Star. He received the recognition of the 2021 Future Science Prize for his correct prediction that the bat SARS-related coronaviruses will jump into human again.
