CUHK Professor Dennis Lo Named ‘Thomson Reuters Citation Laureate’, an Honour Considered as an Index to Predict Nobel Prize Winners
21 September 2016
Prof. Dennis Yuk-ming LO (Fellow of S.H. Ho College) from the Faculty of Medicine at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has been named this year’s ‘Thomson Reuters Citation Laureate – Chemistry’ for his achievement in detecting cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma, cited as a revolution in non-invasive prenatal testing. The honour came two days after he clinched the Future Science Prize – Life Science Prize, seen as China’s Nobel Prize, for the same contribution. The annual Citation Laureates study, launched by the Intellectual Property and Science arm of Thomson Reuters, identifies the most influential science researchers who are considered as potential winners of the Nobel Prize in the near future.
