The founder Dr. Gallant CHAN has been trained as a molecular biologist during his Bachelor and Mphil study 20 years ago. Dr. CHAN is an expert in molecular cloning. He has characterized DNA markers from various types of biomaterials including viruses, bacteria, fungi, fishes, reptiles, mammalian cells, herbal materials, Chinese medicine and even raw materials for cosmetic products. It opens up the gate of BIOTECHNOLOGY.

Since 2006, Dr. Gallant CHAN has started to explore the area of Chinese Medicine. He has participated in the preparation of Hong Kong Chinese Materia Medica Standards (Phase III & IV) and was the one who prepared the monographs for Ginkgo Folium. “Even more professional than the professionists” is the last comment from an international advisory board member to Dr. Chan about his work on Ginkgo Folium before the official endorsement. It opens up the gate of PHARMACEUTICALS.

After that, he has applied molecular authentication on TCM materials for more than 15 years. During the years he studied in HKUST, Dr. CHAN has equipped himself with frontier technology of quality control including the application of LC-MS/MS, macroscopic and microscopic identification of TCM and different cellular and pharmaceutical assays. His expertise is using multi-disciplinal quality assurance methods on a single specific subject. This style has been fully revealed on his PhD thesis about the quality assurance study on cubilose/edible bird‘s nest (EBN).

After he has obtained his PhD in 2013, Dr. Chan switch his focus on cosmetics science and development of nutraceuticals products. In need of seeking new targets for product development, Dr. Chan also keen on developing high-throughput screening technology for drug screening. From 2013 to 2021, he has been involved in managing more than 10 government funded projects. He has published 38 papers on international scientific journals and 28 patents.
