Prof Chan is Clinical Assistant Professor of the University, and Honorary Associate Consultant Cardiologist at Queen Mary Hospital. He received overseas clinical training in Cambridge as Sir David Todd Memorial Scholar awarded by the Hong Kong College of Physicians, and holds Triple Fellowships in Cardiology, Advanced Internal Medicine, and Clinical Pharmacology. He received advanced Cardiology training in interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology at Royal Papworth Hospital, Cambridge, and was further trained as Senior Clinical Fellow in Cardiac Electrophysiology & Devices at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, London.

Prof Chan has published more than 60 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, including First-authored articles in JAMA, JAMA Cardiology, JACC and European Heart Journal. He also served as reviewer for reputable journals including European Heart Journal, and JAMA Network Open. He is currently Associate Editor of JRSM Cardiovascular Diseases, and Honorary Secretary of Institute of Cardiovascular Science and Medicine, HKU.

Prof Chan is an awardee of the Hong Kong RGC Clinical Research Fellowship 2023/24, to innovate in cardiovascular drug repositioning research. He also currently serves as a Member of various drug panels of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority, including the Drug Management Committee and the Drug Advisory Committee.

Prof Chan’s clinical interests entail all areas of Clinical Cardiology including percutaneous interventions, cardiac arrhythmias, and implantable devices therapy. He established the Genetics Research Program For Personalized Medicine in Cardio-Oncology at HKU with support by the Li Shu Pui Medical Foundation Fellowship, with an aim of shedding lights on aetiology and fight against the clinical burden of heart diseases in cancer patients from the genetic perspective.
