About Us

The Gerald Choa Neuroscience Institute (GCNI) is a CUHK university-level institute founded in October 2022 with a generous donation from Prof. Gerald Choa’s family foundation. It is dedicated to being a premier center for innovative basic research on the nervous system and improving our comprehension of human behavior. Currently, GCNI houses four research groups concentrating on visual, auditory, neurotransmission, and neuronal dysfunction. The institute’s objective is to expand its team by recruiting additional top-tier research scientists to drive progress in the field of neuroscience. Please refer to the career page for more details.

Research

GCNI focuses its effort to broaden the perspective of CUHK neuroscientists from all discipline, to spark their exploration and curiosity, and to integrate multiple disciplines in neuroscience, such as sensory and motor systems, cognition and behaviour, circuit dynamics and oscillations.

By looking into the nervous system, neuroscience research will enhance our understanding of human behaviour and promote research of healthy nervous system.
