顏妙融助理教授 (研究)有一個跨學科背景,她擁有密西根大學安娜堡分校腦神經科學學士、哥倫比亞大學生命倫理科學碩士和香港中文大學公共衞生哲學博士學位。在2022年加入香港大學醫學倫理及人文學部之前,她曾在香港中文大學擔任講師和生物倫理協調員(臨床前課程)。
她的研究興趣包括生殖健康、公共衞生基因組學、罕見疾病和實證生物倫理學。她的工作主要探索新興技術在基因醫學和醫療服務中的轉化應用中的倫理問題,包括生殖技術、產前篩查和診斷以及新生兒篩查。在博士研究中,她採用混合方法研究,研究了非侵入性父母測試(non-invasive parental test)在兩級醫療系統中進行染色體非整倍體篩查的公共衞生和社會影響。目前,她正與香港兒童醫院合作,探索公眾對存儲乾血點卡和全基因組測序新生兒篩查的接受度。她還對研究大流行病如何加劇弱勢人群的健康問題感興趣。多年來,她在公共衞生、醫療研究、倫理和醫學教育領域撰寫書籍和在國際同行評議期刊上發表論文。
在研究以外,她還對培養醫學生的倫理敏感度充滿熱情。她獲得課程和教學發展資助,以首席研究員身份帶領生物倫理學課外活動。她還為本科生和研究生的與醫學倫理和醫學教育相關的項目提供指導,例如道德困苦。
