    Professor Tsang is an internationally recognized ovarian biologist, who has the insight and ability in bringing fundamental research into the clinical context. His research on the molecular and cellular basis of chemoresistance in ovarian cancer has provided key information for the development of new therapy for chemoresistant ovarian cancer, a most lethal cancer in women. 
    Dr. Huilin Zhang joined Tsang's laboratory at a Post-doctoral Fellow for one year and satisfactorily completed his research training on the role and regulation of immune cells in chemoresistance in ovarian cancer. During this period, Dr. Zhang developed excellent critical thinking skills and learned a number of research techniques. He is well prepared to establish his own research projects and excellent clinic work upon his return to our hospital.
