**Pik Kwan Peggy LO**

Pik Kwan Peggy LO currently works as an associate professor at the Department of Chemistry at City University of Hong Kong. She studied for her Ph.D. in the Department of Chemistry at McGill University in Canada. Following her doctoral studies, she pursued postdoctoral research at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University in the United States. Dr. Lo's research group is dedicated to the development of a versatile platform that comprehensively addresses the understanding, detection, and treatment of non-communicable diseases. Her group adopts an interdisciplinary approach, integrating synthetic organic chemistry, DNA chemistry, nanotechnology, and molecular biology. Her objectives encompass the synthesis of novel (macro)molecules, the construction of nanoscale structures, and the refinement of their photophysical, photochemical, and biochemical properties. These endeavors have culminated in the creation of intelligent and biocompatible materials tailored for biomedical and technological applications.
