Assistant Professor
City University of Hong Kong, Jockey Club College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences
Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Dr. Ákos Kenéz trained as a veterinarian at the University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest (Hungary) and completed his PhD at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (Germany). During his PhD, he developed a strong interest in cellular physiology, particularly in molecular mechanisms driving metabolic dysregulation in production animals. Later, as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Animal Sciences, University of Hohenheim (Germany), he focussed on the comparative mass spectrometry-based characterisation of metabolic disturbances related to inflammation, insulin resistance and mitochondrial dysfunction in livestock and companion animal species. In 2018, he was appointed as assistant professor of veterinary physiology at the City University of Hong Kong. His research programme has continued to be centred around issues of metabolic health and identifying molecular targets for addressing them. Further to his research appointment, he is the course leader of the multidisciplinary ‘Function and Dysfunction’ course and he is deputy programme leader of the Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine programme.
