DEPARTMENT OF FOOD SCIENCE AND NUTRITION 152 Email daniel.mok@polyu.edu.hk Qualification BSc (The University of Hong Kong) PhD (The University of Hong Kong) ORCID ID 0000-0002-6677-2949 Dr MOK Kam-wah Daniel Associate Professor Research Overview and Representative Publications 1. Metabolomics to Understand Chronic Disease and Traditional Chinese Medicine Determine potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers by identifying changes in metabolic profiles of mice/patients using LC-MS(QTOF) and GC-MS(QTOF). We applied this to examine the changes in metabolic profiles that arise from the treatment of Traditional Chinese Medicine on metabolic/chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis and fatty liver to understand the underlying mechanisms. • The Spine Journal, 22 (2022) 1551-1565 • Phytomedicine, 54 (2019) 182-194 • Frontiers in Pharmacology, 9 (2018), Article 932 • Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems, 171 (2017) 266-276 • J.

Participated in the Hong Kong Chinese Materia Medica Standards to develop standard monograph and analytical methods for Hong Kong since 2006. Metabolomics analysis is also used for the authentication of beef and vegetables. • Food Chemistry, 338 (2021) 127847 • Frontiers in Oncology, 10 (2020) Article 491 • Food & Function, 10 (2019) 2881-2887 • Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, 174 (2019) 360-366 • Molecules, 24 (2019) 1908 3. Theoretical Calculations to Study Reactions in the Atmosphere Ab initio and DFT calculations for transition states for different channels of reactions important to the atmosphere and determine rate coefficients. Study reactions of Criegee intermediates, an important transient species and elucidate its role in aerosol formation and pollution in the atmosphere. • Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 22 (2020) 14130-14141 • Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 18 (2016) 30554-30569 • Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 17 (2015) 7463-7476 • Science, 340 (2013) 177-180
