Research areas
Paediatric cardiology and adult congenital heart disease are the major areas of Professor Cheung's research. The scope of research encompasses three domains: (i) paediatric and adult congenital heart disease, (ii) acquired heart disease in children, and (iii) vascular function in health and disease in the young. His research work focuses on the followings:
- Clinical translation and applications of novel echocardiographic imaging technologies
- Cardiac and vascular mechanics in paediatric and adult congenital heart disease, iron overload and chemotherapy toxicity
- Circulating biomarkers in congenital heart disease
- Long-term clinical outcomes of paediatric congenital heart patients
- Kawasaki disease: genetics and vascular health
Education
At the Faculty level, Professor Cheung is Chairman of the Board of Studies of Master of Medical Sciences programme. At the Departmental level, he is member of the Education Committee and helps to coordinate undergraduate teachings of medical students.
