Dr. Pui-wah Choi: The Science of Happiness
"I found my own path to happiness through science. How about you? You too can find your own path, your own way to make a difference in the world."
- Dr. Pui-wah Choi
Dr. Choi, a holder of a PhD from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the founder of a Biotech company, is an accomplished female biomedical scientist with a profound interest in addressing women's diseases. Her doctoral research primarily focused on ovarian cyst formation and the migration of ovarian cancer cells. She pursued postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA. This included the discovery of new biomarkers for diagnosing and prognosing ovarian cancer.
Through her groundbreaking work, she has made significant contributions to the field by inventing a non-invasive kit that combines a sanitary pad for self-testing for cervical cancer. The journey of scientific invention bears a striking resemblance to that of Monk Tong, who obtained the sutra. Along the path to the east, obstacles abound. As a female scientist, Dr. Choi will share her personal experience and insights on overcoming challenges while striving to enhance human health and well-being. Her ultimate goal is to fulfill the dreams of others, enabling them to lead healthy and happy lives.
