Dr. Maximus Yeung graduated from The University of Hong Kong with multiple awards, distinctions and scholarships in 2014, and received his Fellowship in Pathology from the Hong Kong College of Physicians in 2021. He obtained his Master of Science degree in Genomics and Bioinformatics with Certificate of Excellence in 2020. He is currently the Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology, School of Clinical Medicine, the University of Hong Kong. He is also the honorary associate consultant in Queen Mary Hospital. Dr Yeung is the director of HKU Sarcoma Research Laboratory, which focuses on discovering biomarkers important for diagnosis, prognosis, treatment targets and prediction of therapeutic responses in different sarcomas. It involves utilizing cutting-edge technologies with multiomics analysis, single-cell profiling, functional analysis with organoid culture and state-of-the-art vision deep learning algorithm in computational pathology. In this field, he has discovered multiple novel fusions in sarcomas with comprehensive multiomics analysis. He is also involved in the development of different computational pathology algorithms, such as novel multi-task graph-transformer model (MulGT), TAD-Graph and ConcepPath, with publications in top-tier journals such as NPJ Digital Medicine. He has acquired a large multi-centre database of different sarcomas with well-annotated clinical information, radiology images, histology whole slide images and multiomics data, aiming to develop multimodality deep learning algorithms to make more precise diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic determinations in different sarcomas.
