Prof Tsim has developed molecular technique to determine the genetic and chemical properties of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). A systematic approach with integration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), biosciences and engineering has been developed for the manufacture of quality-assured TCM products. The study of molecular pharmacology can reveal the pharmacological basis of TCM decoctions to Read More ...
Prof Tsim has chosen the vertebrate neuromuscular junctions as the model system to study the cellular and molecular events that lead to the formation of synapses during development and regeneration. The post-synaptic specializations, induced by motor neuron, include the expression and aggregation of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and other synaptic molecules in the muscle Read More ...
