Professor Tommy Lam received his BSc (Bioinformatics) and PhD (Molecular Virology) in The University of Hong Kong, and had postdoctoral training in Pennsylvania State University and University of Oxford. His main research interest is the evolution, epidemiology and ecology of infectious diseases. He uses integrative genomic approach to determine the patterns, drivers and mechanisms of the emergence of pathogens at human-animal interface including influenza viruses, coronaviruses, arboviruses. His research has contributed to important understanding of the origins, evolution and transmission of newly emerging pathogens such as H5N1 & H7N9 avian influenza, MERS coronavirus and COVID-19 coronavirus, as well as the diversity of arboviruses. He is also leading pathogen surveillance and research studies on a number of disease vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks and rodents in Hong Kong. Professor Lam is interested in bioinformatics methods, and has been leading the development of several computational tools and databases for the genomic analysis of pathogens. Time: 10:10 AM – 12:00 PM on June 30ᵗʰ, 2025 Venue: 1ˢᵗ Conference Room, 6ᵗʰ Floor, Engineering Building Topic: Bioinformatics for Pathogen Discovery, Evolutionary and Epidemiological Studies Talk Language: English
