Welcoming Professor Chen Shanquan
Joining Our Academic Community
We are delighted to share with you that Professor Chen Shanquan joined our School as Assistant Professor in the Division of Community Medicine and Public Health Practice in November 2025. He is cross-listed in the Division of Behavioural Sciences.
Professor Chen joins us from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), where he held the position of Assistant Professor and Deputy Co-Director of the Centre for Data and Statistical Science for Health. Additionally, he serves as Extraordinary Associate Professor at Stellenbosch University and Adjunct Assistant Professor at Peking University, and has consulted for notable organisations such as the World Bank and UNICEF.
Professor Chen specialises in epidemiology, mental health, healthy aging, and health economics. He examines how the social determinants of health impact mental health outcomes across diverse populations. He will develop a comprehensive research programme centred on population mental wellness in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, and seeks to establish interdisciplinary collaborations across the University of Hong Kong. His interests, methods, and approach will integrate well with multiple concerns in our school and in Hong Kong.
The School extends our warm welcome to Professor Chen Shanquan. We encourage everyone to connect with him and explore potential opportunities for collaboration.
