Educational/professional background
Hello there! I am Cyrus Kong, studying medicine at the University of Hong Kong, and currently intercalating at LSHTM for my MSc Medical Microbiology. I am also the Founding President of the Hong Kong Student Society of Microbiology, an organisation aiming to promote infectious disease literacy and microbiological knowledge among the greater community.
Research interests or career goals
I am interested in any topics related to medical microbiology, from diagnostics, management, to antimicrobial resistance surveillance. I am also an enthusiast in medical law and end-of-life care.
Why I chose LSHTM/my programme
LSHTM, as a world-leading institution at the forefront of infectious disease research, approaches microbiology from both clinical and biochemical perspectives, fostering the development of analytical and practical skills essential to tackling real-world health challenges.
With its diverse academic community, interdisciplinary teaching, and extensive professional and alumni network, LSHTM provides the ideal environment to deepen my scientific understanding, broaden my perspectives, and equip me to make meaningful contributions to the study of infectious diseases.
