A Heartfelt Thanks to Professor Daniel Ho
Honouring a Collegiate Journey

After many years of dedicated service, Professor Daniel Ho is retiring from his role as Associate Professor. He will continue to share his wisdom and expertise as an Honorary Associate Professor of the School.

Professor Ho’s career at HKU has been defined by a profound commitment to the understanding and improving the health of young people. His research has focused on the critical adolescent health issues of tobacco, alcohol, and obesity, and has provided invaluable insights through large-scale surveys in Hong Kong and Macao. His studies have explored the effects of second-hand smoke on smoking initiation and child health, the impact of parental drinking practices, and the complex risk factors related to adolescent obesity. From examining neighbourhood environments to developing innovative intervention studies, his work has consistently been driven by a desire to create tangible, positive change.

To express our gratitude for his years of dedication, Professor David Bishai, on behalf of the School, presented Professor Ho with a thank you card and a gift in appreciation of his contributions. We thank him for his lasting impact and look forward to his continued association with us.

Please join us in wishing Professor Daniel Ho all the best in his retirement.
