Mr. Kar-him LUK, PhD student of Dr. Ka-hing WONG, received the Young Investigator Award in the International Conference on Food Factors 2015 (ICoFF2015) held in the Seoul, South Korea, from 22 to 25 November 2015.
Mr. Luk has gained recognitions from the judges with his interactive sharing and outstanding oral presentation entitled "Enhanced Bone Formation in MC3T3-E1 Preosteoblast Cell Induced by Selenium Nanoparticles Encapsulated by Mushroom Polysaccharide Protein Complex via upregulating BMP-2 expression", which studies how selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) can be successfully stabilized with the aid of mushroom polysaccharide-protein complex extracted from Lignosus rhinocerus sclerotia. Mr. Luk said, "The findings of this study could provide significant insights for the further development of PTR-SeNPs into the functional food on bone health".
ICoFF started in 1995 and has been held every four years. The conference represents a gathering of world experts in food factors which reduce the risk of lifestyle related diseases. The main theme of ICoFF 2015 is 'Bioconvergence for Food Function', which includes food factors for health promotion and disease prevention, sources of food factors and processing aspects of food factors.
Let us congratulate Mr. Luk on receiving the award!
